CHAPTER 02

+ HAZARD
11. HAZARD
image
11.1 . DEFINITION OF HAZARD
b). Hazard can also be defined as elements that can cause collisions on the road.
c). This chapter details the methods for identifying and detecting hazards and taking action to avoid collisions when there are hazards while operating a vehicle on the road.
11.2. HAZARD CATEGORY
In general, hazards are divided into 5 categories, namely:
a). Hazards related to road design and infrastructure such as sharp bends and roundabouts that are starting points from various directions, as well as small bends that require maximum speed control and observation.
b). The dangers that arise from the actions, movements, and positions of drivers or riders of other vehicles, pedestrians, and animals in the road environment, such as drivers or riders running red lights, and so on.
c). The dangers related to the condition of the road surface and environment include weather conditions such as rain, fog, and flooding or potholes, uneven road surfaces, crosswinds, and so on that can affect vehicle control.
d). The danger arising from the condition of the vehicle being driven or the condition of other vehicles on the road such as flat tires, brake problems, engine issues, or vehicle system failures that can affect control and movement of the vehicle.
e). The dangers arising from the actions, decisions, and choices of drivers or riders themselves, including violating traffic regulations, driving at unsafe speeds, using mobile phones while operating a vehicle, driving under the influence of drugs/alcohol, driving while fatigued, and so on.
image
11.3. HAZARDS AND VEHICLE VIOLATIONS ON THE ROAD
a). Hazard is a critical element in the chain of events that leads to collisions and accidents on the road.
b). Some hazards are only temporary, such as sudden heavy rain or objects thrown from vehicles on the road.
c). Some other hazards may be on the road networks for a long time, such as sharp bends that obstruct visibility.
d). Regardless of its nature, hazards can jeopardize safety and must be handled efficiently by every driver.
e). For example, a competent driver in safe driving should be able to identify at least 6 types of hazards in the diagram below:
11.4 . HAZARD AND RISK OF VIOLATIONS RELATED TO MOTORCYCLE RIDERS IN MALAYSIA
a). Categories and risks related to hazards may vary depending on traffic situations, road types, and modes of transportation used. For example, vehicles stopping on the emergency lane of a high-speed road represent a type of hazard that is very high-risk for motorcyclists because it can lead to collisions that may result in fatalities or severe injuries.
b). In the situation of road traffic in Malaysia, drivers of other vehicles and motorcyclists must be aware of and understand the risks of a collision that may involve both parties.
c). A study by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) in 2017 detailed several categories and examples of hazards that motorcyclists are likely to encounter, which threaten their safety on the road.
d). The categories and details of these hazards are listed in the table below:
i). The actions, movements, and positions of the driver or rider of other vehicles
. The driver of the vehicle in front brakes the vehicle

. Vehicles on the roadside cause obstructed views

. Other vehicles enter the motorcycle lane. The rider changes lanes unsafely. The rider is tailgating too closely

. The motorcyclists keep their signal lights on continuously

. Motorcyclists are in the opposite lane

. Motorcyclists are facing a red traffic light

. Pedestrians cross indiscriminately

. Pedestrians on the roadside obstruct traffic
ii). The actions, decisions, and choices of motorcyclists themselves
. Weaving through the narrow spaces between vehicles in slow-moving traffic

. Changing lanes dangerously
. Not stopping at unlit intersections
. Riding a motorcycle in the opposite direction
. Suddenly cutting off other vehicles
. Making a U-turn in an improper place
. Using a mobile phone
iii). Risks related to road surface conditions
. Potholes
. Bumps/unmarked road
. Uneven road surface caused by manhole covers
. Deposition on the road surface
. Uneven road surface due to resurfacing work
. Excess concrete mixture on the road surface
. Objects on the road such as construction materials and temporary road barriers
iv). Physical features related to road design
An intersection without traffic lights that is hidden from view.
11.5. DETAILS OF VEHICLE VIOLATION ON THE HIGHWAY
a). Studies and previous data have concluded that the ability to detect and address hazards on the road will influence the risk of a vehicle operator being involved in a road collision. To tackle hazards and avoid collisions, a driver or rider needs to understand in detail the definitions and processes that lead to vehicle collisions on the road and what role hazards play in the chain of events that lead to such collisions.
b). The Road Transport Act 1987 (Section 2) details the definition of a road traffic accident as 'an incident or occurrence in which damage or injury is inflicted upon any person, property, vehicle, structure, or animal'.
c). A road collision can also be defined as a 'conflict' involving at least one motor vehicle on the road where: i) There is physical contact with another vehicle, road users, objects, or other elements in the road environment; or some direct operation of the vehicle has caused death, injury, property damage, or financial loss, even in the absence of physical contact.
i) There was physical contact with another vehicle, road users, objects, or other elements in the road environment; or some direct handling of the vehicle has caused death, injury, property damage, or financial loss, even without physical contact occurring.

ii) At least one party involved is moving at a certain speed along a specific path.

iii) The incident could possibly have been avoided through certain planning, proactive actions, and reactive actions.
11.6. DETAILS OF FACTORS AND PHASES OF THE VIOLATION OCCURRENCE
a) In the chain of events leading to a critical situation on the road, the hazard element is the cause of a conflict that may lead to a collision.

b) The two main factors of the hazard element are the triggering factor and the contributing factor as shown in Figure 3 below:
image
i). Trigger Factors<br /> <br /> . The triggering factor is the events or situations that are closest that lead to the direct occurrence of conflict.
. For example, running a red traffic light or changing lanes without checking for the presence of motorcyclists may trigger a high-risk conflict situation that could lead to collisions and severe injuries.

. Among other examples of this triggering factor are vehicle malfunctions such as a flat tire or brake failure while driving, slippery road surfaces, sharp turns, and so on.
ii) . Contributing Factor<br /> <br /> . Contributing factors are elements or conditions that may not directly cause conflict but play an important role in increasing the likelihood of conflict occurring or the severity of its impact.
Examples of contributing factors:

Lack of experience and skills in safe driving, being unaware of and ignoring safety risks related to vehicle operation, and factors related to accidents or not consistently practicing safe driving routines.

Weaknesses in risk management practices at the individual or organizational level that undermine the operational level of vehicles or the fitness of vehicle drivers.
11.7. BASIC CONCEPT OF RISK MANAGEMENT RELATED TO HAZARD
a). The basic principles of defensive and safe driving emphasize the importance for a vehicle driver to practice safety measures and effective driving to avoid being involved in conflicts on the road and to reduce the risks of collisions. However, if a conflict occurs, the driver's awareness, skills, and appropriate actions can enhance efforts to mitigate risks or lessen the severity of the consequences of that conflict.
b). In addition, the use of personal protective equipment such as helmets, gloves, safety clothing, and safety shoes for motorcyclists and the use of seat belts in the front or back for car users can reduce severe injuries in the event that the conflict leads to a collision.
c). To effectively handle hazardous situations, vehicle operators need to understand that safe driving is a process that involves gathering information from the traffic environment, processing the information, selecting decisions, and taking safe actions.
11.8. COLLISION AVOIDANCE SPACE
a). Referring to the details of collision definitions, the main thing to pay attention to in order to avoid collisions is to ensure there is no physical contact with vehicles, road users, or other objects. To achieve this, vehicle operators must maintain and manage the collision avoidance space in front, behind, to the sides, and around the vehicle being driven.
b). This space is maintained through the control of vehicle speed and position. The larger this space, the more room there is for a driver or operator to detect and respond to hazardous elements.
c). To maintain a collision avoidance space and prevent collisions, a driver must practice a Driving Action Plan.
11.9 . GUIDANCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS ACTION PLAN
a). The Driving Action Plan is a combination of proactive and reactive actions by a vehicle operator to reduce risks and prevent collisions when there are hazardous elements while driving or riding.
b). This action plan involves the following processes:
i) Observation
ii) Identification
iii) Expectation
iv) Making Decisions to avoid collision.
c). The vigilance of a vehicle operator towards the traffic environment and the overall driving process needs to be at an optimal level to effectively implement the driving action plan.
d). Optimal environmental awareness includes three (3) levels:
i) Level 1: Competence to observe, analyze, and detect hazard elements in current traffic.

ii) Level 2: Competence to identify detected hazard elements and understand their nature and rate of development in real-time.

iii) Level 3: Competence to make predictions and projections according to the significance and priority of a hazard element and how it affects driver safety.
e) . This optimal environmental awareness is necessary for a driver or rider to classify risks according to priorities, make decisions, and act safely to avoid conflicts and collisions, subsequently addressing hazardous situations on the road. The optimal environment includes three (3) levels, namely:
d). Optimal environmental awareness includes three (3) levels:
i) Level 1: Competence to observe, analyze, and detect hazard elements in current traffic.

ii) Level 2: Competence to identify detected hazard elements and understand their nature and rate of development in real-time.

iii) Level 3: Competence to make predictions and projections according to the significance and priority of a hazard element and how it affects driver safety.
f) . The levels and roles of environmental awareness in the Driving Action Plan are detailed as shown in figure 4;
image
11.10 . THE SPEED AND ABILITY OF VEHICLE OPERATORS TO HANDLE HAZARDS
a). Vehicle speed is a very important factor in the effective implementation of the Driving Action Plan to address hazard situations on the road.
b). The details of the effects of speed on the ability of drivers or riders to handle hazards are as follows:
i) The speed of a vehicle affects the time it takes for a person to process information and respond to hazard elements on the road directly.

ii) Driving or riding at high speeds will reduce the time to process information and respond to hazard elements before a collision may occur.

iii) The speed of a vehicle affects the distance required to stop a vehicle. Therefore, even if someone may have time to take actions such as braking to stop a fast-moving vehicle, that vehicle may not be able to stop completely to avoid a collision.

iv) The speed of a vehicle has a significant effect on a person's field of vision and ability to scan the road ahead.

vi) Speed makes it difficult for a motorcyclist to be detected by other drivers or riders.

vii) In addition to visibility factors, the fast movement of a motorcycle makes it harder to process as visual information and poses potential danger.
c). Speed also increases the level of injury and risk of death in the event of a collision. Therefore, it is crucial for vehicle operators to control their speed by not exceeding the speed limit and ensuring that the vehicle speed is appropriate for the current traffic situation.
11.11. STRESS AND THE ABILITY OF DRIVERS TO HANDLE HAZARDS
a). Stress is one of the factors that can impair a driver's ability to drive safely.
b). Generally, stress affects safe driving performance in the following ways:
i) Increasing the tendency to commit traffic violations.

ii) Causes erroneous assessments, for example, regarding collision risks, safe distances, speed, and estimates of safe space while driving or riding.

iii) Becoming a distraction that makes it difficult to fully focus on vehicle handling and hazard detection on the road.

iv) Triggering negative emotions and aggressive attitudes when facing any challenges on the road.
c). The causes of stress are divided into three (3) matters, namely:
i) The condition of the roads, traffic, and driving such as traffic congestion, bad weather, and the behavior of road users.

ii) Conditions outside of traffic and driving such as personal and social problems like workload, financial demands, family issues, and so on.

iii) The physical and mental condition of the vehicle operator is affected due to certain illnesses, specific injuries, uncomfortable driving positions, or experiencing mental disorders such as depression.
d). In addition, the MIROS study in 2023 showed that trauma from involvement in road traffic collisions can contribute to stress and anxiety while driving.
e). The steps for prevention and stress management are as follows:
i) Identifying the signs of stress in oneself includes physical, psychological, and behavioral conditions. Some signs of stress include experiencing headaches, getting angry easily, and displaying aggressive behavior.

ii) Identify or recognize the conditions or situations that trigger stress.

iii) Planning the journey such as setting the schedule in a hurry, and choosing the usual route.

iv) Avoiding mental and physical distractions while operating a vehicle.

v) Driving or riding in the correct and comfortable position.

vi) Take a break if the stress becomes uncontrollable.
f). For more serious mental health issues such as chronic stress, depression, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder, diagnosis and treatment should be sought from medical experts, including opinions on the suitability of an individual to operate a vehicle on the road.
+ PUNISHMENT SYSTEM

CHAPTER 03

+ THEORY OF CAUTIOUS DRIVING
1.1. Introduction
a) Defensive driving means driving that can avoid and protect oneself from accidents even if the fault originates from other road users.

b) Practicing the concept of defensive driving can reduce the risk of injury, death, loss of time, and money through the following techniques: (Diagram IDA - Identify, Predict, Decide, Act / Identify, Predict, Make Decision, Act, Source: Duanne R. Johnson 1979)

c) In conclusion, the concept of defensive driving refers to a framework of driving practice based on knowledge of traffic rules, high driving skills, a culture of positive attitudes and safe routine practices, as well as the ability to identify, assess, and take action against hazards arising from other road users or other traffic components.

In conclusion, the concept of defensive driving refers to a framework of driving practice based on knowledge of traffic rules, high driving skills, a culture of positive attitudes and safe routine practices, as well as the ability to identify, assess, and take action against hazards arising from other road users or other traffic components.
.. Road Safety Value
Safe driving is not just a skill, but a reflection of your responsibility on the road.
1.2. Driving Planning Steps
P. OBSERVATION
Referring to sight, hearing, and smell to gather as much information as possible about the situation.
M. IDENTIFYING
Identify the hazards around you that are involved in various forms.
M. PREDICT
Make estimates regarding hazards and all possibilities in order to carry out a risk assessment.
M. PRIORITIZING
Referring to sight, hearing, and smell to gather as much information as possible about the situation.
B. ACT
What can be seen/not seen and what might happen. Make appropriate decisions. Consider all initial possibilities that will reduce the risk to you and other road users.
1.3 . Enhancing Observation Skills
a). Observation is the most important process in driving. The level of observation of a driver varies where the observation of a new driver is not the same as that of an experienced or skilled driver.
b). Good observation includes observation of the surroundings and also in one's own vehicle. Observing and seeing are not the same because seeing does not encompass the detection process (as observation does). The observation process includes:
i) Seeing

ii) Hearing

iii) Smelling
c). The observation stage is influenced by the stage:
i) Concentration

ii) Sensitivity
d). Observation can be enhanced by ensuring:
i) The sense of observation, namely the eyes, ears, and nose, is functioning well.

ii) Not driving while tired and sleepy.

iii) Always concentrating on the road environment, not using any devices without hands-free tools.

iv) Vehicle lights are functioning properly, especially at night.

v) Not playing the radio loudly so as not to hear sounds from outside.
1.4. Identifying Hazards and risky situations
a). A hazard is any element that has the potential to cause harm. Hazardous situations can occur suddenly and obviously, such as a car approaching a driver in the same lane, or they may be less obvious but still pose a danger, such as at a sharp bend that obstructs the driver's view of the road ahead.
b). Defensive driving skills depend on the ability to identify hazards and situations that may pose danger and to take appropriate actions to manage and avoid them. One of the reasons for accidents is the failure of drivers to identify high-risk situations or to assess the likelihood of those hazards. If this occurs, the driver's ability to take action in managing risky situations will be compromised.
c). Here are examples of hazards on the road:
1). PHYSICAL HAZARD
.. Circles and grade-separated intersections
image
.. Winding road
image
.. The road forks and separates.
image
.. The vehicle is broken down on the roadside.
image
.ii). MOVING HAZARD
.. Vehicles moving in the bend
image
.. The vehicle is moving slowly.
image
.. Movement together with the flow of traffic and exit ramp
image
.. The road surface is slippery after the rain.
image
.. Water flow on the road surface is caused by heavy rain.
image
.. Pothole-covered road
image
1.5. To estimate
. What can be seen

. What cannot be seen

. What can be anticipated
image
1.6. Prioritizing<br />
a). Classify the risks and their impacts in order of importance.
b). Hazards vary according to:
i) Type of hazard

ii) How close is your distance

iii) Shape of the road

iv) Whether the hazard is moving

v) How fast you are approaching it
c). Speed affects many aspects of driving, both for the driver and the vehicle. Speed must be balanced with the driver's skills and the vehicle's capabilities. How speed affects driving:
. The faster, the greater the driver's visibility distance.

. Speed reduces the time to think and act.
1.7. GUIDING ACTION PLAN
a). The Driving Action Plan is based on information synthesized through the processes of observation, identifying, anticipating, and prioritizing hazards.
image
b). A prudent driver will always ensure that the elements of driving actions, namely position, speed, and acceleration gear, are always appropriate and comfortable according to the driving situation as shown in diagram 7.
image
M. INFORMATION:
Obtain information through your surroundings. Organize the information by importance and how it affects the driver. Shape the information regarding what to do by signaling.
P. Position:<br />
Choose the appropriate speed depending on the hazards/information obtained.
K. SPEED
Choose the appropriate speed depending on the hazards/information obtained.
G. GEAR (Gear):<br />
Car - the need to shift from gear D to a lower gear (automatic transmission vehicle). Motorcycle - the automatic transmission system will adjust the engine speed to the driving conditions (not using caution or manually for gears).
A. Acceleration:<br />
Make a decision on the level of acceleration to take to avoid and pass known hazards, as well as adjusting speed, other road handling actions, weather conditions, and road conditions.
+ SAFE DRIVING ROUTINE (SDR)
2. SAFE DRIVING ROUTINE
2.1. The Safe Driving Routine is the steps that need to be practiced throughout the driving process either to pass hazards or to perform maneuvers such as overtaking, turning, and others. This is aimed at obtaining information to identify hazards around before making any maneuvers.
2.2. 2.2. The steps to be taken are by using the formula C.I.T.O:
C. Rear and side mirrors to obtain information at the back and sides of the vehicle.
I. The appropriate signals to inform and indicate intentions to other road users.
T. Blindspot by turning the head to shoulder level to ensure hazards that cannot be seen through the mirror.
Perform the correct and safe movement at the appropriate position and speed based on hazards.
3. BLIND SPOT
3.1. Blind spot areas are two areas on the left and right that are hidden from the view of motorcycle riders. They are also obstructed from sight when using side mirrors as shown in Figure 8.
image
3.2. Riders need to act carefully before making decisions:

b) Use indicators (signals) before moving.

c) Sound the horn before moving.
image
4. SAFE DRIVING REGULATIONS
Drivers need to adhere to regulations while driving on the road to ensure a smooth flow of traffic and to avoid accidents based on the following rules:

a) Distance regulations

b) Overtaking regulations

c) Regulations to avoid accidents in the front direction

d) Regulations at intersections
4.1. DISTANCE REGULATION
a). A driver needs sufficient time and distance to slow down and stop the vehicle being driven if the vehicle being followed in front stops suddenly. Therefore, avoid driving the vehicle at high speed as this will increase the stopping distance required if the vehicle being followed in front stops suddenly.
(There are 4 pictures of vehicles on the road as an illustration)
image
b). Two rules that have been recognized can ensure a safe distance when tailgating the vehicle in front, namely:
i) Two (2) Seconds Rule

ii) Four (4) Seconds Rule
c). Methods of using distance regulations<br /> <br /> 3 important characteristics that need to be known and considered before these regulations are implemented:
i) The speed of the vehicle being driven is approximately the same as the speed of the vehicle being towed.

ii) A stationary sign by the roadside must be identified to serve as a guide, for example, lamp/telephone poles, trees, bridges, and other permanent structures.

iii) There is no need to look at the speedometer to determine the speed.
d). The use of the Two (2) Second Rule
i). As soon as the vehicle being followed (the vehicle in front) passes a previously chosen marker, such as a tree, counting should begin by counting "one thousand one, one thousand two" as shown in Figure 9.
(Figure 9 shows an illustration of the two-second rule with a stationary object as a guide.)
image
ii). If the vehicle being driven arrives before the tree that was used as a marker, then the following distance is considered safe as shown in Figure 10.
(Figure 10 shows an illustration with a stationary object and the estimate 'one thousand two')
image
iii). If the vehicle being driven passes the marker before the calculation is completed, then the following distance is considered unsafe as shown in Figure 11. The vehicle must slow down and choose another marker. Recalculate at the count 'one thousand one' until a safe following distance is achieved.
(Figure 11 shows an illustration with immovable objects and an estimate of 'one thousand two')
image
e). The Use of the Four (4) Rules Moment
i). The Four (4) Rules can be practiced at any speed when in the following conditions:
. Your vehicle is being followed too closely by the vehicle behind.

. The vehicle in front of you is following the vehicle ahead of it too closely

. When towing a load.

. Bad weather conditions, slippery or sandy roads.
ii). The method of counting the Four (4) second rule will provide more distance for drivers and other drivers to stop in the event of an emergency. The way to do this is by counting 'one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, one thousand four', similar to how the Two (2) second rule counting method works.
iii). Figure 12: Vehicle A is trailing vehicle B at an unsafe and too close distance. Vehicle B needs to calculate the Four (4) second rule to maintain a safe distance from vehicle C.
(Figure 12 shows an illustration of a stationary object with a count of 4 seconds)
image
iv). Figure 13: Vehicle B is closely following vehicle C. Vehicle A is using the Four (4) second rule for a safe distance behind vehicle B.
(Figure 13 shows vehicle A following B with a 4-second gap, while B is closely following C)
image
v). Figure 14: When pulling a load, there will be an increase in weight and the Four (4) seconds rule as shown in the diagram above provides the time and distance to stop for the combination of the two vehicles.
(Figure 14 shows a vehicle pulling a load with a 4-second count behind a fixed object)
image
vi). The importance of practicing safe following distance:
. Providing enough space and time to slow down and stop the vehicle safely.

. Giving drivers a wider field of view to see the surrounding conditions in front.
image
vi). CUTTING REGULATIONS
image
a). A prudent driver requires adequate skill and proper foresight and must understand and learn the correct overtaking techniques. Overtaking is necessary in the following situations:
i) When the vehicle in front is moving too slowly.

ii) When the vehicle in front is changing direction to the left/right.

iii) When following a vehicle in front that may pose a danger and can cause an accident.
b). Twelve (12) second scanning skills
The use of the same technique in Rule Two (2) and Rule Four (4) is also applied to study the skill of twelve (12) instant reflections.
image
c). Cutting rules
i). Before cutting
. Ensure a safe following distance.

. Check ahead (12 seconds).

. Practice a safe routine (CITO) by checking the rear and side for information before moving to the right.

. Signal right for at least 3 seconds and change to a lower gear if necessary to gain power for overtaking.

. Move to the right when it is safe to do so and do not rush while changing lanes.
ii). While cutting
. Accelerate the vehicle to overtake the vehicle being passed to avoid blocking traffic from behind.

. Ensure a safe distance with the vehicle being passed of at least 1 meter (3 feet).

. Use the horn to communicate with the vehicle being passed or flash the lights to communicate with the vehicle in front if necessary.
iii). After cutting
. Practice safe routine (CITO) by checking the back and sides for information before moving left. Signal left for at least 3 seconds before moving left.

. Move left when it is safe and can see the vehicle ahead in the side mirror and rearview mirror when the overtaken vehicle slides further left.

. Turn off the left signal and adjust the journey by returning to the appropriate position and speed.
image
4.3 . REGULATIONS TO AVOID ACCIDENTS FROM THE FRONT DIRECTION
image
a). Although drivers always practice the 12-second rule while driving, in unexpected circumstances they may face situations such as vehicles suddenly appearing heading towards the vehicle being driven.
b). Drivers must always be prepared and aware of four (4) rules to prevent accidents from the front.
b). Drivers must always be prepared and aware of four (4) rules to prevent accidents from the front.
i) Look at the road aheadWhen seeing vehicles from the front entering the lane, sound the horn or flash the headlights as a warning.

ii) Act by moving to the leftIf the driver of the vehicle ahead ignores the warning given, act by following safe routine (CITO) to ensure it is safe before moving to the left.

iii) Reduce speedRelease the accelerator pedal, use the brake pedal effectively and shift to a lower gear to help reduce speed. Control the steering firmly.

iv) Drive off the highwayPractice safe routine (CITO) again and move to the left to exit the adjacent highway or space to avoid a collision. This is a last step to prevent a collision from the front.
image
4.4. REGULATIONS AT THE INTERSECTION
Every road user needs to know and practice the 4 basic rules at intersections to avoid accidents at intersections and also to be a prudent driver, namely:
a). Know the direction
i) Plan and determine the direction of travel before reaching the intersection and position the vehicle.

ii) It is prohibited to change direction suddenly when reaching an intersection as such practices can endanger other road users.

iii) Always anticipate potential dangers that may arise at intersections.

iv) Practice safe routine (CITO) before taking action.
b). Slow down your vehicle at the intersection.
i) Slow down the vehicle when crossing an intersection even if at that time the driver has the right of way.

ii) Completely release the accelerator pedal, press the brake pedal and apply pressure until the vehicle stops.

iii) Maintain pressure to ensure the vehicle stops safely and also so that the brake lights remain on for the driver behind to see that the vehicle is being stopped. If the waiting time to continue the journey is long, pull the handbrake and disengage the gear.

iv) The same rules as above should also be practiced every time crossing an intersection.
c). Showing desire through position and gestures
Drivers need to indicate and assure other road users of their intentions to move and change direction through the position and signals of the vehicle. This can be done by ensuring that the driver is in the correct lane and signaling to turn earlier before performing the maneuver.
d). Move carefully
i) Drivers must ensure that the condition ahead is safe before moving to the left and right.

ii) Drivers are advised to be cautious and prepared to stop safely in the event of an unexpected situation.
d). Move carefully
i) Drivers must ensure that the condition ahead is safe before moving to the left and right.

ii) Drivers are advised to be cautious and prepared to stop safely in the event of an unexpected situation.

image
+ ACTION MOVEMENT
5. Movement Analysis
There are 7 movements that drivers need to know and practice safely and accurately on the road to avoid accidents and ensure smooth driving.
5.1. Movement inward
Moving into traffic means joining the flow of traffic. This action occurs when a driver moves from the shoulder of the road into the roadway, from an entrance ramp onto the road, from a parking space onto the roadway, changing lanes, and entering a roundabout.
image
5.2. Movement when on the highway
Moving on the road means driving safely at the correct speed and position. This movement occurs when the vehicle is on or moving on the road, driving on sharp curves, driving on various road surfaces, being on damaged roads, potholes, and oil spills, as well as during emergencies such as vehicle breakdowns and accidents.
image
5.3. Movement along with the flow of traffic
Moving together with the flow of traffic means controlling the vehicle safely and smoothly in the correct position with other vehicles. Maneuvering is also performed when following a vehicle, being in front of other vehicles, competing in movement with other vehicles, and should avoid maneuvers that may obstruct traffic.
image
5.4. Movement across
Moving across traffic means that vehicles are passing through a road where other vehicles may be moving past the path of a driver. Movement also occurs at all intersections, pedestrian crossings, railway crossings, and in traffic controlled by traffic wardens/police.
image
5.5. Movement while cutting and being cut
Moving while overtaking means traveling from the same direction but at different speeds and safely overtaking other vehicles. This movement is also the same when overtaking and when being overtaken.
image
5.6. Revolving movement
Moving in a reverse direction means driving a vehicle back to its original direction. For example, examples of moving in a reverse direction include reversing when about to park, making a U-turn, and performing a three-point turn.
image
5.7. Movement out
Moving out of the traffic flow means performing a maneuver to stop or park a vehicle out of the traffic flow and exit, leaving the roadway by turning left or right to stop the car or to halt during an emergency. Turn on the hazard lights when stopping at the roadside or during an emergency.
image
+ FACTORS CAUSING ACCIDENTS
6. FACTORS CAUSING ACCIDENTS
There are 6 factors or conditions identified as causes of accidents if drivers are not careful on the road, namely:
6.1. Driver<br /> <br /> The driver is the main factor causing accidents and must ensure to do the following things before or while driving a vehicle to avoid accidents:
a) Ensure the health and mental state of the driver is in good condition. A driver who is tired, drowsy, angry, worried, or anxious should not drive.

b) Do not drive after consuming alcoholic beverages or under the influence of drugs.

c) Be smart in adapting to changing weather or road conditions.

d) Do not use medications that have not been approved by a doctor. Instead, seek medical advice if experiencing health issues.

e) Practice the two (2) seconds or four (4) seconds rule when following other vehicles.

f) Do not overtake in prohibited areas and always practice safe routine (CITO) while driving.

g) Always be patient and considerate, and adhere to road signs and signals.
6.2. Road<br /> <br /> Roads are built so that vehicles can move safely and comfortably. However, the condition of the roads is not always good because they can be damaged due to rain, heat, oil spills, and so on. Therefore:
a) Follow and adjust your speed according to the road conditions and the prescribed speed limit as each road is built with a speed and flow in mind.

b) Reduce speed during rain, on slippery, damaged, bumpy roads, and so on.

c) Avoid overtaking on narrow roads.

d) Avoid driving through puddles as the driver cannot predict their depth.

Damaged road surfaces can cause accidents and damage vehicles.
image
6.3. Vehicle<br /> <br /> Vehicles that do not function properly can cause accidents. Drivers need to ensure the following actions are taken so that the vehicle is always in good and safe condition:
a) The brakes, lights, brake lights, turn signals, and horn are always functioning properly.

b) The tires and windshield wipers are still good and functioning.

c) The seat belts can be used and fastened while driving.

d) Test the brakes and turn signals and adapt to the conditions.

Old and poorly maintained vehicles should not be driven on the road because these vehicles can break down suddenly and increase the risk of accidents.
image
6.4. Weather
a) Bad weather will affect driving in terms of:

i) Driver's concentration is affected.

ii) Visibility becomes less clear. iii) The stopping distance of vehicles will increase.

b) Drivers need to be cautious when driving in poor weather conditions and are advised to stop in a safe place because this can impair and obstruct the driver's ability to continue driving.
image
WARNING
Drivers are prohibited from turning on hazard lights while driving in bad weather EXCEPT when the driver is in distress and is moving to find a safe place.
6.5. Light
a) Bright sunlight can cause glare and impair the driver's vision and concentration. Drivers are advised to wear sunglasses to avoid the effects of sunlight glare.

b) Similarly, excessive or insufficient light, morning sunlight, and light from oncoming traffic also pose obstacles to driving. In this situation, the eyes will return to normal from glare in about 7 seconds, and if the driver is traveling at a speed of 70 km per hour, the distance the car travels is approximately 140 meters. Therefore, drivers need to adjust their speed in such conditions.
6.6. Traffic
a) The state of traffic congestion can cause stress to drivers and subsequently, complicate driving which can increase the risk of accidents. Therefore, drivers are advised to use alternative routes if they find the road they intend to take congested.

b) Areas near shopping centers, industrial areas, school zones, sports complexes, and others are also among the congested areas and are factors that can lead to accidents.
image
6.7. However, all six hazardous conditions can be managed or faced if the driver possesses the characteristics of a cautious driver. Plan your travel time to avoid peak hours and use alternative routes if available.
7. POSITION OF VEHICLES THAT CAN CAUSE COLLISION
7.1. The driver's negligence is one of the main factors that cause collisions. Drivers need to identify positions that could lead to a collision between two vehicles.
7.2. There are 6 positions identified that can cause a collision to occur, namely:
a) . Collision with the vehicle in front
i) The failure of drivers to properly practice the rule of maintaining a safe following distance and scanning ahead for at least 100 meters can lead to collisions with the vehicle in front.

ii) Following too closely can cause drivers to lose control of their vehicle during the drive, including noticing hazards, seeing signals from the vehicle ahead, and reacting safely in case of unexpected situations that may result in a collision.
image
b) . Collision with the vehicle from behind
i) The failure of the driver to detect hazards including the presence of motorcycles in the vehicle's surroundings through the rearview and side mirrors, signaling sufficiently at least 3 seconds before changing direction can lead to a collision with the vehicle behind.

ii) A cautious driver will always check the rearview and side mirrors every 5 - 10 seconds to ensure that no vehicle is following too closely.
image
c) . Collision while cutting
i) The driver's failure to make a decision on whether it is safe to overtake.

ii) The failure to practice overtaking rules such as looking ahead and ensuring there is a safe space at least 100 meters or 12 seconds ahead.

iii) The failure to understand, detect, and check blind spots.
image
d) . d) Collision when being over take
i) The failure of the driver to look in the side mirror to detect hazards to provide space for overtaking by safely bringing the vehicle closer to the left and complying with lane usage rules/disciplines.

ii) The failure of the driver to cooperate such as increasing the speed of the vehicle when there are other vehicles trying to overtake.
image
e) . A collision from the side or at an intersection
i) The driver's failure to plan the journey or being unsure of the route direction.

ii) The driver's failure to signal and communicate with other road users.

iii) The driver's failure to follow the rules at intersections.

Changing lanes hastily without signaling is the cause of collisions.
image
LEARNING OUTCOMES<br /> <br /> At the end of this chapter, students will be able to: Demonstrate elements of driving and a flexible and systematic approach to hazard management. <br /> <br /> Competent driving to safely operate a vehicle in a journey from its starting point to its destination using the road.<br />
ROAD SAFETY VALUE

Drivers need to practice consideration, give way when necessary, and respect other road users to avoid collisions.

The use of gadgets while driving is one of the causes of collision situations.

CHAPTER 04

+ GUIDANCE IN VARIOUS SITUATIONS
1. GUIDANCE IN VARIOUS SITUATIONS
Driving in various conditions is a driving situation that goes through different scenarios, terrains, traffic, and hazards. This situation requires a driver to have the appropriate skills, experience, and abilities to drive safely.
2. DRIVING IN THE CITY ROAD
A prudent driver must be wise in managing the congested traffic conditions in urban roads, namely:
2.1. Being able to control the vehicle well so as not to disrupt the smooth flow of traffic.
2.2. Following or stopping at a safe distance so that one can take action if the vehicle in front breaks down or has an accident.<br />
image
2.3. Being able to control emotions so as not to take actions that could endanger other road users.
2.4. Ensuring safety before turning or changing lanes by practicing safe routines (CITO).
2.5. Following intersection rules by giving priority to vehicles from the opposite direction and avoiding sudden lane changes to prevent accidents.
2.6. Obeying traffic lights and giving priority to pedestrians and cyclists.
2.7. Slow down the vehicle and ensure you are in the correct lane when approaching the toll plaza. Practice safe routine (CITO) even if other vehicles appear to be moving slowly.
(Image: Each vehicle chooses the correct lane)
image
3. GUIDANCE ON RURAL ROADS
3.1. Rural roads have a different situation compared to urban roads, such as less traffic congestion, the terrain, and the layout of the roads.
a). Pothole Road
image
b). Stone Road
image
c). Uneven road
image
d). Sandy Road
image
3.2. However, it still has the risk of accidents due to negligence such as:
a) Winding, hilly roads with poor surface conditions.

b) Areas where animals cross.

c) Hazards that appear suddenly.
4. MOTORCYCLE RIDER<br /> <br /> Most city dwellers use motorcycles to commute to work. Although it is easy to escape the traffic congestion, it carries a high risk of getting involved in accidents. Therefore, as a driver, one must:
i. Be aware of the position of motorcycles that are close to vehicles.

ii. Always practice safe routines (CITO) to avoid colliding with other vehicles, especially when making any movement.

iii. Be patient and control your feelings towards motorcyclists who practice dangerous and rude riding styles.
image
5. GUIDANCE IN THE TUNNEL
i. Drivers need to be careful when approaching tunnels by practicing safe routines (CITO).

ii. Turn on the lights while in the tunnel and be extra cautious when driving in the tunnel because the visibility zone is more limited.

iii. Ensure a safe following distance and comply with all traffic signals.
image
6. PEDESTRIAN
i. When passing through urban areas, there are focal points, such as shopping malls, markets, and school zones, where drivers need to pay more attention to pedestrians.

ii. Slow down the vehicle and drive carefully.

iii. Give priority to them to cross or obey the traffic lights at pedestrian crossings.
image
7. GUIDANCE ON THE HIGHWAY<br /> <br /> i. The driving environment on the highway may differ compared to driving in urban and rural areas. Therefore, the forms of hazards and accident risks may also vary.<br /> <br /> ii. The flow of traffic on the highway is usually one-way and at relatively high speeds compared to urban or rural roads. Full concentration on driving is very important for drivers to ensure a safe journey.<br /> <br /> iii. The things that drivers need to pay attention to when driving on the highway are as follows:
a) Ensuring that the vehicle is in good condition and can be safely used before and during driving.

b) Driving in the correct lane and not exceeding the prescribed speed limit.

c) It is prohibited to drive in the emergency lane except in permitted areas.

d) Taking a break in designated areas if feeling sleepy or after being tired from driving during a journey.

e) Using the hazard lane when overtaking.

f) Practicing safe routines (CITO), always adhering to and complying with traffic instructions through the displayed signals.

g) Fully cooperating with instructions for early detection of any abnormal conditions in the vehicle.
image
8. Most rural roads do not have streetlights like those in the city. Driving at night requires more attention due to lighting factors and visibility limits. As a safety measure, ensure that the following points are considered to maintain visibility at the highest possible level:
8.1. Ensure all lights are functioning well and correctly adjusted so that they can be used perfectly.

8.2. Always be alert and pay attention to the surrounding conditions more carefully.

8.3. Maximize the use of lights without compromising the safety and comfort of other drivers.

8.4. At every intersection, drivers need to observe hazards that are not clearly visible.

8.5. Avoid driving fast to be able to stop/avoid safely in case any unexpected hazard appears such as pedestrians or animals.

8.6. Ensure a safe following distance to have enough space and time to react.

8.7. Drivers are prohibited from using high beams when passing by or following other vehicles. The light of the vehicle will reflect through the rearview mirror of the car in front and dazzle the eyes of the driver of the vehicle ahead.8.8. If a vehicle from the opposite direction is using high beams, blink the lights for communication. ...

8.8. If a vehicle from the opposite direction is using high beams, flash your lights to communicate and signal the driver of the vehicle ahead to lower their beams.

8.9. Avoid using fog lights or additional lights when driving in the city. These lights are too bright and have a high intensity which can cause glare for other drivers.

8.10. For motorcycle riders/passengers, wearing bright clothing and reflective jackets greatly improves visibility to other drivers.

8.11. Turn on your signal lights when necessary and turn them off immediately after use.

8.12. Hazard lights should only be turned on in emergency situations.
image
9. GUIDANCE IN VARIOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS
9.1. Driving situations in hot or rainy conditions or strong winds or any weather conditions that may pose a risk to driving.

9.2. Actions that need to be considered while driving are as follows:
a) Conduct a vehicle inspection routine (VIR) before starting the journey.

b) Wear dark glasses to help reduce glare in order to maintain eye focus compared to not wearing them.

c) Use the air conditioning (if available) for comfort while reducing stress due to hot temperatures.

d) Be cautious when turning and avoid overtaking while in a curve. (slow in fast out according to the situation).

e) Always ensure the temperature gauge is below the warning level and avoid using congested roads in hot weather.

f) Turn on the headlights/daytime running lights (DRL) during rain and thick fog when visibility is low so that other road users can see the presence of the vehicle.

g) Rain can limit visibility, especially when the windshield wipers are not functioning well.

h) Wet roads can reduce tire grip on the road surface. Practice the four-second rule (4s). Driving fast on damp roads or during heavy rain can cause water to accumulate between the tires and the road surface, making it difficult to control the vehicle (Aquaplaning). This phenomenon is also called Hydroplaning.

i) Low-lying areas and hilly regions will cause water to pool on the road surface. Drivers must take precautions and avoid using these areas during rain.

j) Worn tires cannot grip the road properly. Ensure that tire tread is always in good condition.

k) When passing through waterlogged roads, stop and assess the depth of the water. Use an alternative route (if available).

l) Driving in fog is a difficult and dangerous driving situation as low visibility reduces the ability to judge distance. Practice safe distance rules based on driving visibility.
image
10. GUIDANCE DURING EMERGENCY (IF VEHICLE MALFUNCTION OCCURS)
10.1. In the event of vehicle breakdown, park the vehicle far away from the roadside and turn on the hazard lights.

10.2. Place a triangular warning sign with reflective elements approximately 45.7 meters (50 yards) away to alert other road users.

10.3. Contact the relevant parties to repair or tow the vehicle to prevent any unwanted incidents.
11. In an emergency, the driver should remain calm and think of the best solutions for problems such as the following:
11.1. Brake Failure

a) The driver should press the brake pedal several times which may restore brake pressure. If this fails, use the handbrake (for vehicles) in a controlled manner to slow down the vehicle.

b) Shift to a lower gear gradually using engine braking to slow down the vehicle and look for a suitable and safe place to stop the vehicle.

11.2. Vehicle Skidding

a) If the vehicle skids due to front or rear slipping, release the accelerator immediately, and turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction of the skid.

b) Then straighten the steering wheel and continue driving.
image
11.3. The accelerator/throttle is stuck.
Slow down the vehicle using the brakes in a controlled manner and look for a suitable place to stop, engage the handbrake (for cars) to stop the vehicle, free the gear, and turn off the engine.
image
11.4. Flat or punctured tire If a tire goes flat or is punctured while driving, grip the steering wheel firmly to stabilize the vehicle. Carefully control the vehicle and brake slowly, while looking for a safe area to change the tire.
image
11.5. The vehicle's headlights are not functional.
If the vehicle's headlights do not work while driving, slow down the vehicle and navigate using the light of other vehicles or follow the white lines on the road, while also turning on the hazard lights. Stop in a safe area.
11.6. Vehicle on Fire
a) Stop the vehicle immediately on the shoulder of the road, turn off the engine, and remove the passengers in the vehicle.

b) Extinguish the fire using a fire extinguisher or seek help from other road users.

c) If the fire cannot be controlled, leave the vehicle and contact the fire department.
11.7. The bonnet is open
If the bonnet opens while driving, brake gently and stop on the shoulder of the road / in a safe area while checking through the window and side mirrors for driver guidance.
image
11.8. Vehicle broken down on the highway
a) Drive slowly and signal left, stop in the emergency lane, turn on the hazard lights, and if it happens at night, turn on the lights in the vehicle as well.

b) Ensure that the triangular warning sign is placed at a distance of not less than 45.7 meters (50 yards) behind the vehicle.
image
11.9. The front mirror is broken.
If the windscreen breaks while driving, reduce your speed, look through the window, and stop at a safe place. Contact the relevant authorities and it is advised not to continue driving.
image
11.10. Emergency equipment
The driver must ensure that all emergency equipment is always in good condition to assist the driver in case of any emergencies such as the following:
