    Other than the obvious, a lot of which has been posted here already, I'd say:1. Presence of mind -- Parang yung sa ROTC? You have to focus on your driving AND your environment -- the vehicles around you and even the shoulders of the streets. On well-paved provincial roads, for example, the following can be encountered: Cow Pies can mean crossing animals, Farmlands can mean kuligligs and rice on the road, bball courts can mean balls flying and kids chasing them, etc.2. Assuming others DON'T drive or walk defensively. This has saved me countless times. Two of them very important ones. Once may yaya crossing the street carrying one kid and holding the other with her hand. Super menor ako dahil assume ko preoccupied yung yaya dun sa karga at baka mahina ang hawak dun sa toddler. Ayun, tumakbo nga ng tawid yung toddler. Para naman ako para sigawan yung yaya.Another time, may 3 bata sa tabi naglalaro pero mukhang may pinagtatalunan yung dalawa. Nag-menor ako. Ayun, sinuntok nung isa yung isang bata. Yung tinamaan naman umiwas -- right onto the street. Kung di ako yung natapat sa kaniya, tiyak either nasa ospital siya or sementeryo.

    Always assume that all other drivers are offensive.

    me when driving defensively,i've always keep cool attitude para makadrive ako nang maayos tapos kung may schedule time ka sa pupuntahan mo always magbigay ka nang 1 hr allowance para hindi ka magahol. traffic sa manila & QC are very unpredictable.

    for me, defensive driving is presuming that all drivers of the vehicles around you are reckless, hence, you always need to be alert and cautious. kaya ako, i always use my signal lights when turning or overtaking and blow my horn if necessary, kung medyo alanganin ang position ng car ko, e, hazard kaagad.

    para sa akin, alerto ka....harap,likod,kaliwa at kanan....lalo na kapag city driving...

    ang dapat na asahan ay ang pagkakamali ng ibang drivers, dapat anticipated mo mga yan....
