- The biggest benefit of driving defensively is that it will help you reach your car's peak fuel efficiency by eliminating frequent stops and rapid acceleration, both of which lower your car's efficiency drastically.
- When you drive defensively, you are automatically more aware of your surroundings, which will result in fewer accidents.
- Driving defensively makes you a more cautious driver, and your insurance premiums will lower as a result. If you take the time to become a "certified" defensive driver (through taking state-approved classes) your premiums will cost even less.
- Because defensive driving involves gentle braking and acceleration, your tires will have a longer life because there will be less wear on their treads.
- Another benefit of defensive driving is that your engine will not be strained during hard braking and fast accelerations.
