Driver error is an important factor in collisions, which result in the death of many thousands of people annually (see also car accident). Preventing collisions involves more than just fong the rules of the road literally; defensive driving also involves the cultivation of good habits, maintaining attention, and a thoughtful, cooperative attitude. One of the latest researches showed that music could also affect the driver's attention on the road: classic music leads to clamness, while hard-rock makes the driver accelerate. Both could lead to car accidents, since both make the driver lose concentration.[1]
Avoiding or successfully handling an emergency driving situation can involve any of the following skills:
- Reversing
- Decision Making
- Evasive maneuvers
- Inflating the tires properly
- Pursuit driving
- Proper hand placement and seating position
