What is an example of defensive driving?

  1. Maintaining a safe following distance

  2. Making lots of noise

  3. Tailgating other drivers

  4. Passing on the shoulder

The correct answer is: Maintaining a safe following distance

Defensive driving involves anticipating and avoiding potentially dangerous situations on the road. Maintaining a safe following distance is an example of defensive driving because it allows for more time to react to sudden stops or changes in traffic. Making lots of noise, tailgating, and passing on the shoulder are all examples of aggressive driving behaviors, which can increase the risk of accidents and should be avoided.
