Why is driving or operating equipment your greatest risk?

  • Exposure – The amount we use our

vehicles.

  • Severity – The potential to be injured or

killed is high in a motor vehicle collision

  • Frequency – This is tied to exposure but

has factors that we as drivers control

  • “The Startled Driver”
slide-9
SLIDE 9

EXPOSURE

  • The amount of time

spent driving

  • Does it involve work
  • Various conditions
  • Off roadway
  • Commercial Vehicles
  • Different surfaces

How do Motor Vehicle Incidents happen? The Startled Driver

slide-24
SLIDE 24
  • Most serious control problems occur

due to sudden inputs of steering and/or brakes resulting from the driver being surprised

  • Surprise occurs due to a failure of the

driver to anticipate changes

  • Failure to anticipate is normally caused

by incorrect eye placement. The sooner a driver sees and decides the less control input is required

GET THE BIG PICTURE

  • Ninety percent (90%) of

the information required to drive a vehicle passes over the visual pathway

slide-31

  • Knowing WHERE to look
  • WHEN to look
  • WHAT to look for

Uses fuel to run the engine and converts heat energy to mechanical energy The more Horse Power the engine produces the faster the vehicle can travel considering its weight In order to stop the vehicle the mechanical energy has to be converted back to heat.

Braking

  • Coefficient of friction
  • Road and weather

conditions

  • Weight and speed

factors

  • Grades
  • ABS systems

Picture

slide-53
SLIDE 53

Steering

  • Turning radius in

relation to speed

  • Traction – side slip
  • Centre of mass
  • Stability base
  • Out and In track
  • Shuffle steering
  • Vehicle position

Picture

slide-54
SLIDE 54
  • To control a vehicle, rolling contact

between tires and the road surface must be maintained

  • A driver can influence the movement of

a vehicle only three ways

  • Steering
  • Accelerating
  • Braking
  • How a driver inputs steering,

acceleration or braking will determine whether driving is an ACT or an ART

ACT vs. ART

  • The ACT of driving is relatively simple

and most people can perform the task unconsciously

  • The ART of driving is also relatively

simple, but is accomplished through the drivers ability to concentrate on the task at hand and make conscious decisions

Visual Search Procedures

  • Get a clear, complete and accurate

picture of the environment and other traffic.

  • You must pay attention.
  • Sense is your primary source of

information.

  • You must see, interpret, understand

and apply.

slide-60
SLIDE 60

Looking Ahead

(12 second rule)

  • Identify problems or anticipate trouble
  • Decide how to avoid the difficulty
  • Check for traffic that may prevent you

from making the proper adjustment

  • Take the appropriate action
slide-61
SLIDE 61

Scanning & Searching

  • Use a reference point (12 seconds ahead)
  • Your scan & search will involve checking
  • Well ahead
  • Just ahead
  • Both sides
  • Start at your reference point then quickly scan &

search then back to your reference point.

  • This will eliminate tunnel vision and eye fatigue

Changing Road Surface

  • Consider the time of year (-5 to 5 C)
  • Is there slush – black ice/snow
  • Water on roadway
  • Be aware of shadowed areas
  • Changes in elevation
  • Be aware of outside temperature
  • Is there lots of sand on the roadway

Helpful Hints

  • Drive as an Art not an Act
  • Practice knowing where to look, when to

look and what to look for

  • The most important item on your vehicle are

your tires

  • Look where you want to go
  • Speed kills
  • Stable platform concept
  • Seatbelts save lives and reduce injuries
