Defensive Driving Rule #28: Maintain an Even, Measured Pace

Avoid the pitfalls of “jackrabbit” driving by adopting a “tortoise” style approach. Stay in your lane, match your speed to the flow of traffic, and minimize lane changes to reduce collision risks. Prioritize safety, use the two-second rule, and remain alert to surrounding drivers’ behaviors.

Lead by example by allowing smooth merges and practicing courteous driving habits. Discourtesy contributes to traffic bottlenecks, while courteous driving keeps traffic flowing smoothly. Embrace the “tortoise” mindset for a stress-free and efficient journey to your destination. Keep safe and keep moving forward!
