THE HUMAN ELEMENT

What characterises a skilful driver?
0 Thinks and acts well ahead of time in most situations, and quick reactions when
necessary.
O Drives with narrow margins of safety to help the flow of traffic.
O Drives with a distance of 1 second from the vehicle driving in front because he is
capable of super quick reactions.
O The driver controls his vehicle with skill.
2.
Is it possible for the skills you have learned to deteriorate?

O No, because once acquired, skills remain on a constant level.
O Yes, for instance when you are upset or angry.

O Drivers estimate distances up to 50 metres fairly accurately.
O Distances over 50 metres are estimated less accurately.
O Distances over 100 metres are often estimated to be longer than they are.
O It is easiest to estimate the distance to an oncoming car accurately.
O Estimating the distance to another car to be greater than it actually is reduces the ri
of collision.
Which situations make incorrect assessments of the speed of and

distance to an oncoming vehicle especially dangerous?
O When there is a queue.
O When making a left turn at a junction.
O When the driver gets a red light just before a junction.

the time he needs to become aware of the dangerous situation.

and unsafe cars.
O One reason why young persons get involved in accidents is that they have no respect
for life and health.
O Accidents involving young people often happen at night during the weekend. There
are often several passengers, and they are driving to parties and leisure activities.
O Feelings or moods are sometimes reflected in excessive daring. Combined with too
little driving experience, this may be one explanation for accidents involving young
persons.
O Most of these accidents happen because young persons are not sufficiently skilled at
handling a car.
