Key to safe driving

The key to safe driving is having an awareness of what is happening all around you. This includes not just what is directly in front of you on the road, but also on the footpaths and what is to the side of you and behind you. Ie you need to have a 360-degree view which you constantly refresh. This will mean you are much more likely to see if a hazard arises and enable you to take evasive action. It also increases confidence because a hazard is much less likely to take you by surprise.
