Scanning the Environment
- Lower risk of accident
- Move your eyes around and look in all directions
- Look for hazards in any shape or size and from any direction
- Develop sensitivity to variety of possible hazards in different driving situations
Looking but not Seeing
- What we expect to see
- Detect objects that we expect to see
- We often fail to see objects that we do not expect to see
Using internal & external mirrors at least once every 10 seconds
Scan the immediate, middle and distant environment forward of the vehicle
- ‘Pre-Sensitise’ your awareness so you can respond to them quickly
Scan intersections on the approach & throughout turns
