This interactive course on Driving Defensively for CDL/Large Vehicle Drivers: The Basics discusses how truckers can not only prepare and defend themselves from other drivers, but from driving hazards such as low visibility, work zones and pedestrians as well. When you drive defensively, you’re always “looking for trouble”. Not that you want to cause any, but so you can “defend” yourself against other drivers and the trouble they can create. Whether they’re speeding, tailgating, or just not paying attention to what they’re doing, other drivers can put you at risk… but they’re not the only problem. Areas covered in the course include the mental side of driving defensively, preparing for your trip, hitting the road, using your headlights, negotiating curves and downgrades, right-of-way, lane control and passing, turns and intersections and more. Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video, text and colorful graphics, this course provides the most cost-effective safety and regulatory compliance training available today. The course is divided into a number of logical sections so information is easily understood… and retained.

Other drivers who are speeding, tailgating, or not paying attention can put truck drivers at risk. But other drivers are not the only hazard – low visibility, work zones, and pedestrians also create dangers. Because large vehicles handle differently than passenger cars, CDL drivers need specific defensive driving techniques to anticipate and respond to these hazards safely.
