Smith System® safety education program uses the “Five Keys to Space-Cushion Driving for Commercial drivers and defensive driving.” The five keys are:

• Aim High in Steering – Make sure you’re looking far enough ahead of your vehicle so you have time to react to any hazardous situation.
• Get the Big Picture – Look all around your vehicle.
• Keep Your Eyes Moving – Continuously scan the entire area.
• Leave Yourself an Out – Always have an escape plan for you and your vehicle.
• Make Sure They See You – Make other drivers aware of your presence.
