Proactive Passenger

Proactive passengers realize that the only way a car will make it to its destination is if they take the bull by the horns. They have strong leadership, delegation and non-verbal communication skills.

The Proactive Passengers know they are in the best position to surveil, assess and provide assignments to the driver. Additionally, they are responsible for navigational tips and secondary hand gestures/menacing looks. The driver, or control twiddler, should focus on basic essentials of threat reduction, navigation and other driver antagonism.

Proactive Passenger traits can often lie dormant for years surfacing only when a spouse and/or loved one takes the wheel.

proactive policing

Proactive policing is a law enforcement strategy focused on preventing crime before it occurs, rather than merely responding to criminal activity after the fact. It often involves anticipating potential criminal activity, identifying risks, and addressing underlying causes through methods such as community engagement, targeted patrols, predictive analytics, and problem-solving initiatives. This approach contrasts with reactive policing, which centers on responding to crimes once they have been committed.
Proactive policing, such as setting up DUI checkpoints during holiday weekends, aims to deter impaired driving before accidents occur.
