Defensive driving

Defensive driving

In response to the article in The Jakarta Post Dec. 6, 1995
issue entitled Indonesians the worst drivers in the world, the
consultant is quoted that he was puzzled by the low accident rate
in Indonesia despite the very high level of traffic violations.

Well the answer is fairly simple: when every driver knows that
every other driver most likely will not follow the traffic rules,
everyone drives defensively. That is the definition of "defensive
driving."
