Our program on Driving Defensively for CDL/Large Vehicle Drivers: Handling Adverse Conditions discusses how drivers can prepare for and drive defensively when encountering bad weather, work zones, distracted and aggressive drivers and more. Driving defensively isn’t just about your driving skills or your experience. It’s about being aware of what is going on around you, anticipating what could happen and knowing what to do in any situation. Because trucks behave differently than other vehicles, truck drivers need to react differently when they encounter unusual or emergency situations. Areas included in the program include driving safely in bad weather, handling a blowout, sharing the road with other trucks and buses, dealing with distracted and aggressive drivers, pedestrians, work zones and emergency situations and more.

This course presents fundamental information for CDL/large vehicle drivers on driving defensively in adverse conditions. Upon completing the course, drivers should:
- Know what types of adverse conditions they can encounter when driving a truck.
- Recognize the unique challenges presented by driving a truck in adverse conditions.
- Know how driving defensively can help prepare them for challenging driving situations and prevent traffic accidents.
