Zorluk: KolayHazard Perception and Anticipation

You are driving along a residential road lined with parked vehicles. Ahead on your left, you notice the white reversing lights illuminated on the rear of a car in a driveway. What hazard should you anticipate?

  1. A
    The parked vehicle will remain stationary and presents no risk to traffic
  2. B
    The white lights indicate the driver is inviting you to speed past them
  3. The vehicle may reverse out into the road across your pathCevap
  4. D
    You only need to watch the vehicle travelling directly in front of you

Cevap

You should anticipate that the vehicle may reverse out into the road across your path.
White lights on the rear of a vehicle indicate that reverse gear has been selected. When a car is in a driveway with reversing lights on, you must anticipate that the vehicle could reverse into the road across your path, especially as the driver's view of the carriageway may be restricted by boundary walls or parked cars.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Observe the illuminated white lights at the rear of the vehicle in the driveway.
Identify that the vehicle is engaged in reverse gear and driver intention involves backward movement.
Recognising early visual indicators allows proactive planning rather than sudden reactive braking.
2
Assess potential risks associated with reversing out of a driveway.
Anticipate that the driver's visibility of the main carriageway may be partially obscured by fences, walls, or parked cars.
Drivers reversing out of driveways often have limited rear view and may not see approaching traffic immediately.
3
Prepare to reduce speed, check mirrors, and maintain a safe safety margin.
Ensure sufficient stopping distance in case the vehicle continues reversing into your path.
Defensive driving requires anticipating potential conflicts and adjusting vehicle speed accordingly.
