Driving Safely: Reason on the Road
Viewers witness common driving behaviors like tailgating, not using turn signals, cutting cars off, and other inconsiderate behavior, from inside as well as outside the car. Not only do viewers see how dangerous such behavior can be, but experts give insight into how some incidents can escalate into violence. The SAFE process is explained and demonstrated: scan, anticipate, figure, execute. This is an excellent perspective for all new drivers and a good refresher for experienced ones! (16:00)
