Abstract

THESE SECTIONS INCLUDE METHODS FOR SCANNING THE ROAD, LISTS OF POTENTIAL HAZARDS, AND LISTS OF POSSIBLE MANUEVERS TO AVOID HAZARDS. THE DECISION AND EXECUTION SECTIONS COVER DRIVING TECHNIQUES THAT HELP THE MOTORIST TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS. ALSO DISCUSSED ARE THE COLLISION POTENTIAL OF HAZARDS AND FACTORS WHICH HINDER SAFE DRIVING (I.E., LIMITED SPACE OR VISION). AN ANSWER KEY FOR THE QUESTIONS IS INCLUDED AT THE END OF EACH SECTION.
