Question: Defensive driving means:

Answer options:

  • Aggressive driving ✅ Anticipating hazards and planning escape routes
  • Always speeding slightly
  • Following closely

Correct answer: Anticipating hazards and planning escape routes

Explanation: Defensive driving means anticipating hazards and planning escape routes because SAAQ safe-driving principles emphasize proactive accident prevention over reactive maneuvering. By keeping a safe distance and scanning the road ahead, drivers can safely react to unexpected threats. Opposing choices like aggressive driving, tailgating, and speeding are incorrect because they reduce a driver's reaction time and actively increase the severity and likelihood of collisions, which violates the Highway Safety Code. On the SAAQ theory exam, questions regarding defensive driving always prioritize safety margins, foresight, and cooperation over speed and assertiveness.
