Safe Driving Practices
Defensive driving involves maintaining a safety cushion around your vehicle. Use the 3-4 second following rule, and increase this distance in bad weather. Constantly scan the road ahead and check your mirrors every 5-8 seconds to be aware of potential hazards and other vehicles, especially in your blind spots.
Avoid all forms of distracted driving, including manual (hands off the wheel), visual (eyes off the road), and cognitive (mind off driving) distractions. In Utah, manually using a handheld device for texting is illegal. Driving while fatigued is also dangerous; if you feel tired, pull over to a safe place and rest.
