A drive to the mall should never be a  race—but it does require mental alertness, physical coordination, and respect for every other driver on the road. NASCAR Rookie of the Year David Reutimann shares his expertise in all those areas as host of this dynamic, highly informative three-part series. A strong foundation for safety oriented  driving education, Reutimann’s guidance emphasizes  that driving can be a fun, positive experience; that it is a privilege, not a right; and that the most important  piece of driving equipment is between the ears.

What’s the most important factor to consider when driving? Visibility? Engine performance? No—it’s other drivers. In this  video, David Reutimann focuses on defensive driving, the cornerstone of safe vehicle operation. Underscoring the danger of making assump-tions when behind the wheel, the program stresses preparing for the worst possible events and circumstances, and illustrates three solid principles of defensive driving: Give Yourself Space, Anticipate, and Know Your Options. Issues concerning drunk driving, tailgating, finding escape routes out of dangerous situations, and proper behavior at the scene of an accident are also covered.
