Zorluk: OrtaHazard Perception and Anticipation

You are driving along a commercial street with parked delivery vans on your left. Ahead, you notice a courier carrying a large parcel walking between two parked vehicles towards the road. What should you anticipate?

  1. A
    The courier has clear visibility and will wait at the kerbside until your vehicle passes
  2. The courier may step into the carriageway without checking for traffic because the parcel blocks their viewCevap
  3. C
    Flashing your headlights is required to instruct the courier to cross ahead of your vehicle
  4. D
    Accelerating past the stationary vans quickly will safely clear the hazard before the courier reaches the kerb

Cevap

Anticipate that the courier may step into the carriageway without checking for traffic because the parcel blocks their view, and adjust your speed and road position accordingly.
When driving past parked vehicles, drivers must anticipate hidden hazards. A pedestrian carrying a bulky item such as a parcel is likely to have restricted vision and may step directly into the carriageway without looking. Proactive anticipation requires scanning between parked vehicles, easing off the accelerator, checking mirrors, and preparing to brake safely.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the developing hazard in the road environment
Recognised a pedestrian moving between parked vehicles towards the carriageway with an obscured field of vision
Early detection of potential movement allows sufficient time to formulate a safe response
2
Anticipate the likely actions and limitations of the pedestrian
Concluded that the large load prevents the courier from seeing or hearing approaching traffic effectively
Defensive driving requires planning for the worst-case scenario before it develops into an immediate danger
3
Take proactive defensive action
Check mirrors, ease off the accelerator to reduce speed, and cover the brake pedal
Reducing speed and increasing safety margins ensures the vehicle can stop smoothly if the pedestrian steps into the road
