If you are the driver of the blue car, what are the possible risks in this situation? 

## see-think-do 

Whenever you drive, you will see hazards. To make good driving decisions, follow this two‑step process: 

1. Assess the risk. 

2. Choose the best solution. 

## Assess the risk 

## You in the driver’s seat – part 1 

You’re driving down a two-lane highway, and are just starting into a sharp curve. You can’t see very far ahead. 

In this scene, the risk is moderate. You can’t see well ahead, so you need to slow down a little and be cautious. 

## You in the driver’s seat – part 2 

As you go into the curve, a driver in a red car behind pulls out to pass you, even though the highway is divided by a solid double yellow line. 

Now the risk increases. This is not a good time for that driver to pass because there may be all kinds of hazards just around the curve. 

To assess just how risky this situation is, ask yourself what could happen. What if that driver finds an unexpected obstacle just around the curve? He may have to slow down and stop suddenly or pull back into your lane. That means you need to be ready to slow down or stop if necessary.
