Defensive driving is a term often used in driver’s education courses. For many people, defensive driving just means “safe driving.” Yet, defensive driving is actually a set of driving tools individuals can use when they are out on the road to guard themselves against accidents. In short, defensive driving can save your life.
Facebook has over 1 billion users. That’s one seventh of the human population alive on earth today. Twitter boasts about 271 million active users. These forms of communication can keep us connected to friends and family who live across the world. They keep us informed about the world. They link us. Yet, these same tools that can be so beneficial can also have some serious consequences, particularly for individuals who are in the midst of litigation.
The story is tragic. A fifteen year-old boy was killed while performing a maneuver under the guidance of his driver’s education instructor. The driving instructor apparently told the boy to make a three-point turn on a road that turned out to be icy, have limited visibility, and be too narrow to perform a three-point-turn properly. While the boy was in the process of performing the turn, another car hit the driver’s education vehicle with the boy inside. The 15 year old boy died on the scene.
