Question: Why should a defensive driver continuously think about an 'escape route'?
Answer options:
- To plan where to park ✅ So that if a hazard suddenly develops, there is already a planned safe direction to steer or brake
- To find shortcuts on the trip

Correct answer: So that if a hazard suddenly develops, there is already a planned safe direction to steer or brake
