Formula 1 also aiming to Minimize Aggressive Driving
Defensive driving is not only applicable to your everyday road traffic; it now applies to the F1 track as well! For the 2011 season, the FIA has decided to take harsh measures against aggressive or irresponsible driving in an effort to see cleaner and safer driving on the track.

Following a meeting last week, the FIA has since laid down a number of sporting and technical regulations for 2011. FIA is all set to bring about more responsible and safer racing in Formula 1, which is why harsh measures will be taken against aggressive driving and those drivers who constantly run off the track to gain advantage.

Other maneuvers that intentionally or unintentionally hinder other racers include: changing direction too often, deliberately crowding a car to run off the track, or any other kind of abnormal change in the direction is also not permitted. If drivers are found committing such violation, they are liable to be fined.

Likewise, drivers driving regular roadways and highways should pay heed to this and take safe driving seriously as well. After all, aggressive driving is not solely a Formula 1 trait! With so many accidents occurring on a daily basis due to carelessness and drunken behavior, defensive driving courses have become vital for our survival.
