Your ability to react quickly to danger depends on your reaction time, which is affected by alertness, fatigue, and distractions. This lesson explores these factors and teaches proactive hazard perception skills. You will learn how to scan the road ahead, identify potential risks early (e.g., a child near the road, a car waiting to pull out), and predict the actions of other road users. This anticipatory mindset is more effective than simply reacting to events as they happen.

Upon completing this lesson, you will be equipped to actively manage risks on the road by understanding and improving your reaction time and anticipation skills. You'll learn to identify potential hazards earlier, such as a pedestrian stepping out from behind a parked car or a vehicle preparing to merge, and predict how other road users might act. This proactive approach allows you to make safer decisions, reducing your chances of becoming involved in an incident and demonstrating a higher level of preparedness for the CBR theory exam. You will be able to confidently apply these principles to real-world riding scenarios, contributing to a safer journey for yourself and others.
This lesson is ideal for AM-category learners who want to move beyond basic rule memorisation and develop truly defensive riding skills. It's particularly helpful for those who find themselves surprised by sudden events or who wish to improve their hazard perception for the Dutch theory exam.
