Risk Management 1: Hazards are you
This is the first of a series of tips, or rather thought-provoking statements, from Stephen Haley, celebrated author of ‘Mind Driving - New Skills for Staying Alive on the Road’, which will be published here over the next few days.
“You are part of every hazard you meet and this is what gives you control over the outcome“.
This statement involves a more involved approach to hazards, rather than seeing them as just ‘out there’. It encourages drivers to actively predict and prevent danger, rather than react to it.
It is a more realistic and constructive view which also promotes a higher sense of responsibility and being in control. It explains too how a poor driver will be part of worse hazards than a good one in the same situation.
