Terry Reid, the owner of the National Defensive Driver Training in Guelph, recently 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, every single person ought to follow a set of defensive driving rules, in order to be safe and secure. Some of them are mentioned below:
1.Don’t accelerate too quickly,
2.Don’t slam on the brakes when stopping,
3.Take corners at a nice, slow speed and
