A good defensive driver should:

  1. Assume others will do the right thing

  2. Ignore other drivers

  3. Expect the unexpected

  4. Drive aggressively

The correct answer is: Expect the unexpected

A good defensive driver should expect the unexpected. This means being prepared for any sudden or unpredictable actions that other drivers or road conditions may present. By maintaining awareness of your surroundings and anticipating potential risks, you can better react to any unexpected situations on the road, ultimately reducing the likelihood of accidents. Option A, assuming others will do the right thing, is not a recommended approach as it may lead to complacency and lack of readiness for unforeseen events. Ignoring other drivers, as mentioned in option B, is unsafe and can result in missed cues or potential dangers. Driving aggressively, as in option D, is also not in line with defensive driving principles, as aggressive driving generally involves risky behaviors that increase the chances of accidents.
