i keep reading about defensive driving.
i dont know the exact meaning of it or where it came from, can anyone help?
is it a recognised part of driver training or an undesirable trait?
any help would be great guys.
It is part of most UK train operator's driving policy and at its simplest says that drivers should aim to drive so that they stop gently well before the signal. Layout of stopping positions on stations and phones at other signals will generally assume a stopping position 20m from the signal to allow for defensive driving.
