OBJECTIVES We will define risk assessment and apply risk reduction

principles to determine roadway position, establish vehicle speed, and communicate with other roadway users

We will assess moderate risk driving environments and apply space management concepts to determine roadway position, establish vehicle speed, and communicate with other roadway users

I will be able to demonstrate SEEit space management system in a driving simulation.

I will be to demonstrate my understanding of the 6 basic areas of operating space around the vehicle.

Injuries Damages Loss

Broken Bones Vehicle Damage Financial loss

Paralysis Property Damage Loss of opportunity

4. How does increasing speed increase risk?

Increased speed results in less reaction time, longer braking distance and more severe collisions….Like this clip below:

Module 4 – Topic 1

5. Differentiate between risk assessment, risk acceptance and risk compensation.

Risk assessment – the ability to recognize and determine levels of risk.

Risk acceptance - how much a person is willing to risk

Risk compensation - making adjustments to reduce risk

Who is willing to take a risk (Mystery Box)?

Module 4 – Topic 1

6. Three Principles for reducing risk

1. Never risk more than you can afford to lose.

2. Do not risk a lot for a little.

3. Consider the odds and your situation.

6. Class Discussion - What are some examples of each (In regards to driving)?

Module 4 – Topic 1

7. Name some behaviors that increase driving risk.

SpeedingFailure to yield right of wayDUIDisregarding a traffic sign or signalFollowing to close

Improper turnsUnsafe passingFailure to wear a safety beltTalking on cell phone while driving

8. What are some good driving habits that reduce driving risks?

Practice SEEitDevelop good decision-making skills

Module 4 – Topic 2

2. Open Zone – A space or area that has no restrrictions to the line of sight or path of travel.

3. Closed Zone – A space or area that is not available for a car’s path of travel or has a restriction to the driver’s line of sight.

4. Describe a changing Zone – An open zone which becomes a closed zone or a closed zone that is changing to an open zone.
