When driving around town, be particularly aware of parked cars that can hide your view of pedestrians – especially children – who might step out unexpectedly into the road. Parked cars can also mask their view of you. Lowering your speed from 40mph to 20mph reduces the chance of a fatal injury to a pedestrian from almost 100% to just to 1 in 20.
But it’s not always clear if someone is planning to cross. If a pedestrian looks back over their shoulder, the likelihood is they are checking the traffic before walking out onto the crossing. If you see anyone near a crossing glance over their shoulder, ease off the accelerator and expect them to cross.Bus stops are another potential hazard for pedestrians unexpectedly walking into the road to get to their next destination – mainly when a bus has unloaded its passengers.
So, be prepared to decelerate or brake, and think seriously before you make an overtaking manoeuvre on a vehicle in front of you – even if it’s a tractor or truck that may be travelling well below the speed limit. The easy way to remember this: more white=more fright.If you’re driving an electric car, make sure you’re using the right regenerative braking mode for the right situation. Regenerative braking is good for improving range or ‘one-pedal’ driving in stop-start traffic.
