    Study Notes

    Roadway Risk Factors

    • Risk factors in the environment can include construction, sharp curves, snow, and ice.
    • Understanding these factors is vital for safe driving.

    Driving Task

    • The primary focus of driving is a thinking task that requires active mental engagement.

    IPDE Process

    • Applying the IPDE process allows drivers to decide on changing speed, altering direction, or communicating with others.

    Zone Control System

    • The zone control system organizes the space around the vehicle into six zones for better awareness and management.

    Closed Spaces

    • A closed space is defined as an area not accessible due to restrictions in line of sight or intended travel path.

    Searching Ranges

    • Three searching ranges should be evaluated while assessing the path of travel.

    Visual Search Pattern

    • An orderly visual search pattern involves regularly checking critical areas of the traffic environment.
    • Practicing this pattern can be done effectively as a passenger in a vehicle.

    Anticipating Hazards

    • Looking far ahead while driving helps in identifying clues and analyzing potential situations before they become critical.

    Scanning Technique

    • Scanning entails glancing quickly and continuously to gather information about the driving environment.

    Predictive Driving

    • When spotting vehicles with front wheels turned toward the street and a driver present, predict a possible entry into your path.

    Responding to Road Changes

    • If a roadway narrows from multiple lanes to a single lane, transition into the through lane promptly to ensure safety.

    Conflict Anticipation

    • The project step in the IPDE process involves judging possible points where conflicts may arise in traffic.

    Decision-Making

    • Making effective driving judgments involves measuring, comparing, and evaluating surrounding traffic situations.

    Preparing for Errors

    • To handle potential mistakes by other road users, assume that others may make errors while driving.

    Direction Changes

    • When planning to change direction, ensure to leave yourself an out or escape route.

    Compromise of Space

    • Space is compromised when hazards cannot be separated or minimized, leading to increased risk.

    Hazard Management

    • To minimize hazards, adjust speed strategically when dealing with multiple hazards simultaneously.

    Braking Techniques

    • Locking the brakes during a sudden stop results in loss of steering ability, which can be dangerous.

    Effective Communication

    • Reducing risks in conflicts involves clear communication, ensuring that other drivers can see you.

    Emergency Braking

    • In emergency situations, avoid locking the brakes to maintain control of the vehicle.

    Looking Ahead

    • To prevent last-minute maneuvers, aim to look down the road ahead for at least 12 seconds to anticipate upcoming conditions.
