    A defensive driver looks ahead to recognize changes in the road surface and adjusts their speed accordingly. Road conditions like curves, poor weather, construction, uneven or narrow surfaces can impact a driver's ability to steer and stop, requiring lower speeds. Defensive driving involves reducing speed for roads that are curved, under maintenance, sandy, about to narrow, crossing railroads or bridges, or have bumps or rumble strips.
