Country Road Bend
Use road layout, view limits and speed to anticipate developing risk.
Read the scene in stages
Decide for yourself when the situation first requires action, then compare with the explanation below.
You approach a bend with a limited view.
Assessment: Potential hazard because the road ahead is hidden.
You see fresh mud/debris near the bend and an oncoming vehicle appears near the centre line.
Assessment: Multiple clues indicate reduced space and grip.
Your available path narrows and you need to reduce speed before entering the bend.
Assessment: Developing hazard. Adjust speed and position early.
Key lesson
Use road layout, view limits and speed to anticipate developing risk. The goal is not to wait for danger to become unavoidable. High scores come from recognising the developing stage early enough to take safe action.
