GMC Terrain: Driving Information / Defensive Driving
Defensive driving means “always
expect the unexpected.” The first

the seat belt. See Seat Belts.
- Assume that other road users
(pedestrians, bicyclists, and
other drivers) are going to be
careless and make mistakes.
Anticipate what they might do
and be ready.
- Allow enough following distance
between you and the driver in
front of you.
- Focus on the task of driving.

task of driving. Exercise good
judgment and do not let other
activities divert your attention away
from the road...
Death and injury associated with

tragedy.
Warning
Drinking and then driving is very
dangerous. Your reflexes,
perceptions, attentiveness, and
judgment can be affected by even
a small amount of alcohol...

objects in the same traffic lane...
