Hazards and emergencies

As a driver, you’ll always face hazards on the road. A hazard is any object or situation that could be dangerous.

It’s rare for there to be only one hazard at a time when driving. Most of the time you’ll have to deal with several hazards at once.

One of the most important things you can do to be a safer driver is to look well ahead of you when you’re driving, so you can pick up potentially dangerous situations before it’s too late.

Sometimes, no matter how carefully you drive, you may find yourself in an emergency situation. Find out how to handle emergencies if they develop.
