What should you understand by defensive driving?

You answered correctly. Defensive driving in Germany means not insisting on your rights and allowing for other people's mistakes. This approach helps prevent accidents, even if you have priority or are technically in the right. It’s about anticipating potential errors by others and being prepared to react safely. However, stopping as a precaution at every crossroads is not required and would disrupt traffic unnecessarily. Instead, driving defensively means being cautious, observant, and considerate without causing confusion to other road users. This mindset keeps everyone safer on the road.
