hazard perception

Hazard perception is the ability to recognize potential dangers on the road before they develop into real problems. It involves actively scanning your surroundings, identifying possible risks such as other vehicles, pedestrians, or road conditions, and anticipating how they might change. Developing good hazard perception helps you respond quickly and appropriately, reducing the likelihood of accidents. It’s a key skill for safe driving, requiring awareness, observation, and judgment to identify hazards early and take preventive action.
