What does Predict involve?

• A. Deciding on a course of action
• B. Predicting whether the situation will affect you.
• C. Executing the action.
• D. Observing the environment.

Answer: (B)

Predict involves forecasting how things in your driving environment could unfold and whether they might affect your safety. You watch other road users and changing conditions and think about what could happen next, so you can anticipate hazards before they arise—for example, a car ahead that might brake suddenly or a pedestrian stepping into the road. This helps you plan a safe response ahead of time. It’s different from deciding on a course of action (that’s choosing how you’ll respond) and executing the action (carrying it out), or simply observing (gathering information without assessing how it could affect you).
