PASSPLUS COURSE
A new driver is 10
times more likely to have an accident in their first year than any other time
They have a two second reaction time to seeing a hazard and more often hit the hazard before they even realise it's there!
Males but more often now females are over confident in their ability to deal with complex situations and are more likely to attempt the risk, to attempt the small gap, rather than be patient and wait for the 100% safe opportunity. Young males are particularly affected by peer pressure and are extremely vulnerable when in a car with others of the same age. In the USA studies have shown just how volatile this situation is and many states ban new drivers from carrying just passengers of the same age as they know just how lethal this psychological combination is for new drivers
WHY DOES IT HAPPEN?
Even the
most conscientious of new drivers reaches a real danger level after around 30 hours of solo driving when complacency with faster speeds sets in. Often they
are driving the same car on the same routes to work or college etc, nothing has
gone wrong yet and you continually bring up the speed with familiarity and
because "everybody else is driving that fast" . You start
getting too close to the person in front because "everybody else
does".Then the
proverbial hits the fan!
"It wasn't my fault"
"This guy just pulled out in front of me!"
"Someone went into the back of me"
I just lost control in the middle of a bend!
Look
where this young driver ended up! In the middle of a roundabout!
The
fact is that most accidents are avoidable given the proper training
