Defensive Driving

five MPH, and he speeds up to obey the sign, not going a mile above it and maintaining his speed. Suddenly, the winter sun is blotted out by heavy snow storm clouds. It starts snowing slowly, but it starts increasing as a rapid rate. He puts his headlights on low so he can maintain good enough visibility safely. From last night’s snowstorm, the roads are all slippery. He makes sure to keeps a slow enough speed so that he does not lose traction on the road, and makes sure he does not turn too fast for risk of skidding out. Past the snow, he scans and sees a man. He identifies him as a blind man,and predicts that he is going to walk out in front of his car. He decides very quickly he is going to stop for this man to let him pass. Executing this action, he quickly presses down on the brakes, but not too hard or he might skid. Patiently Johnson waits for the man to walk by, rolling down his window to wish him a wonderful day.

He continues traveling down the road, stopping at all stop signals he comes across, and always looking out for hazards and pedestrians. The rest of his drive is mostly uneventful and he arrives to his destination; his work place. Johnson always arrives earlier than anyone, the parking space mostly abandoned, he has a very easy time turning into a front parking space. Continuing on his day, he is very happy to have made such wise driving decisions. His brother on the other hand, was arrested for driving while intoxicated, and was luckily caught before he hurt himself or others. Johnson’s brother blasted music at high volumes, did not look where is was going, and swerved from lane to lane at speeds at 60 MPH in a residential area.
