**Preventive driving** is a way of driving that allows you to anticipate possible obstacles and risks on the road. This technique is based on three fundamental principles:

- **Vision**: It is important to look everywhere to gather relevant information and avoid distractions. This helps to be aware of what is happening around you and to identify potential dangers.

- **Anticipation**: It involves foreseeing the movements and reactions of other drivers. This allows you to react in time to any unforeseen event, such as a sudden stop or an unexpected lane change.

- **Space**: Always maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles is crucial to have enough time to react to any unexpected situation.

Additionally, to practice preventive driving, it is essential to:

- **Maintain an appropriate speed** according to the conditions of the vehicle, the road, and the environment.
- **Use the appropriate lights** to be visible and communicate your intentions to other drivers.
- **Avoid staying in the blind spot** of other vehicles, especially larger ones.
- **Signal maneuvers** well in advance so that other drivers are aware of your movements.


These aspects of preventive driving help reduce risks and react effectively to unexpected situations, thus ensuring safer driving.
