Skills and Attitudes that support safe road behaviour

Hazard Perception A hazard is something that increases your risk of a crash. Having strong Hazard Perception skills helps you to recognise and react to hazards such as other vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, where new drivers are more likely to crash. It allows you to observe the whole road scene and to respond safely to possible hazards. Examples of hazard perception include…. .

Road Sharing Road sharing involves taking into consideration sharing the road with other vehicles include motorcyclists, bicycles, pedestrians and other cars. Example of road sharing behaviours include;

Observation and Scanning means taking in the whole scene 360 degrees around your car. Effective scanning means constantly moving your eyes and/or your head when driving so that you can detect hazards that may arise ahead, to the sides and behind your vehicle. Research shows that new drivers are not good at scanning. They tend to focus on the road just ahead of their car. The good news is that new drivers get better at scanning with practice. Examples of observation and scanning include;

Tolerance Drivers who are in more control of their feelings have greater ability to regulate their emotions to ensure their behaviour is always in theirs and the other people on the roads best interest. Not having tolerance on the road can impair judgement, reduce focuses, impairs judgement which can lead to delayed responses and lead to “heavy foot” on the gas. Examples of ways increase tolerance on the road;
