BICYCLE PLANNING IN AUSTRALIA. CHAPTER 13. HAZARD RECOGNITION TRAINING

An essential survival skill for drivers and cyclists alike is the ability to recognise hazards and to react accordingly. There is a need for training in hazard recognition. The Victoria Police, who frequently are asked to address school children and adult groups were an obvious source of "teachers" of a hazard recognition course. The Geelong bike plan developed and audio-visual kit called "two wheels one life". The theory behind the kit is based on the fact that young children do not see the entire road as they ride, and thus do not anticipate hazards. Also, the kit concentrates on a few simple messages that can be repeated at frequent intervals for reinforcement. The kit should be of great help in improving survival skills for cyclists. For the record of the covering entry for the book, see TRIS no 452283. (Author/TRRL)
