Correct answer
Preventive driving
Defensive driving is driving in which the driver anticipates possible risks and obstacles on the road, based on three basic principles: vision, anticipation and space management. These allow the driver to travel more safely and react earlier to possible obstacles or unforeseen events on the road, thereby avoiding unnecessary risks. Anticipation techniques include enabling us to react to obstacles with enough time to avoid risks and adjust the vehicle's speed so that it can be stopped in time.
