When do you need to drive defensively?

  1. When driving at night

  2. When driving in busy traffic

  3. When driving on a residential street

  4. In all of the above scenarios

The correct answer is: In all of the above scenarios

Driving defensively is necessary in all scenarios because it involves being aware of the surrounding conditions and potential hazards while operating a vehicle. This includes factors such as the time of day, the level of traffic, and the type of road being driven on. While A, B, and C may individually be times where defensive driving is particularly important, it is important to always be prepared for any potential dangers on the road. Therefore, the best way to ensure safe driving is to always practice defensive driving in all scenarios.
