Defensive Driving

Last Monday (3/11/2008) I've attended Defensive Driving course. It's sort of refresher course for me coz I've attended once way back in 2002 (if I'm not mistaken). But.. the previous one was more adventurous than this one. Except, this one we're using the "safest" car SAAB with turbo engine.


Its good to get ourselves reminded on safety aspects particularly on driving, coz most of us are on the roads for almost everyday. They showed us short videos on accidents - how it happens, what happens to the people involved, the vehicles and so on.

Oooooo......terrible, sometimes innocent people get killed too.


The bottomlines are.....

1. Self discipline
2. Apply LOVE while driving-
L = Look Up and look Ahead
O = Observation
V = Visibility
E = Escape Route
3. Change your mind set
