Drive safely.

3/27/2013

I have some far-flung governmental clients whose meetings I have to regularly attend, and I have a fair amount of work in Tucson (about 120 miles away), so I spend a lot of time on the road.  Given that amount of time, it is a certainty that I will encounter some driving hazards (and I have!).  I thus feel that it is important for me to drive as safely as I can, to account for those hazards -- both human-made and natural.

When driving, you should remember all of the safety rules that are taught in driver's education or defensive driving courses -- stay 3 seconds behind the car in front of you, stay alert, keep an eye on the traffic around you, etc.  But these rules may not help you in a serious road rage incident or deliberate attack on you or your vehicle.  To prepare you for these scenarios, consider attending a tactical driving course.  Such a course will give you skills that you will not obtain from a typical driving course.  You should be able to find some by searching for "tactical driving course" in your area.
