Gurdip Atwal,the owner of a defensive driving training center in Guelph and Cambridge said that,“The major problem with drivers in general is they don’t adjust to driving conditions”. He further went go to state that,“They think they are still driving in the summer. Those habits are hard to change quickly, and that is a major contributing factor in collisions whenever there is a first snow.”
Whereas,the owner of the National Defensive Driver Training in Guelph, Terry Reid, said that,“I believe there were over 200 car accidents in the GTA the other day and some of that is just people being aggressive and forgetting that snow is slippery. It’s a common sense thing that people forget sometimes.”
Overall, this winter season we ought to flow the following defensive driving rules. Some of them are mentioned below:
1.Don’t accelerate too quickly,
2.Don’t slam on the brakes when stopping,
3.Don’t follow too closely and
4.Take corners at a nice, slow speed.
