Driving Lessons: Patience

It’s always the other guy’s fault, or is it? There is no such thing as the perfect driver, be absolutely honest haven’t you, at some stage when you were driving made an error which someone else then made safe? We all have, there is no driver out there that can say hand on heart that they have never made a mistake.

Being prepared mentally for what may happen next when you are on the road, rather than relying on reactions to sort out a problem when it has already arisen, is a key factor in safe driving and riding. Drivers who were prepared to see themselves as part of the potential hazard were less likely to be involved in a crash or a near miss than the drivers who just “blamed” other road users around them. Using the Hazard Perception Test section on our site will prepare you for most hazards encountered. So make a point of helping out the other road users who might do the same for you. Remember a bit of give and take goes a long way.
