I've heard Defensive Driving described as driving with the assumption that someone else is going to do something wrong, and to be in a position to defend yourself from that eventuality.
The opposite is to drive Offensively (ha ha) which I guess is to assume that every other car will do the right thing and it's okay if I take a few risks.

- Raphmedia 12y agoI drive with the assumption that everyone else is drunk. Most friday night around here, it is true. In the morning, I drive with the assumption that everyone is half blind and too aged to drive. I work next to an eye clinic, so this is also true. Drive like everyone else is a fool and you should make it back home safe.
