When driving, the driver will come across a range of situations. Recognizing which of these are risks and which are not is crucial. The driver should be able to identify their risk threshold, and this threshold should be rational. However, they will realize their risk tolerance as they spend more time on the road.

Strong self-awareness is the key to safe driving. Suppose driver justly assess their driving behaviours, including their strengths and weaknesses behind the wheel. In that case, drivers can improve their expertise with this information.

Your risk tolerance should be easy to find simply by Eliminating factors such as:

1. Impressing passengers
2. Running late
3. Realizing cars, just like drivers, have different characteristics.
4. What could be a safe overtaking move in a Ferrari will be dangerous in a truck with a heavy load.

Before you take the risk of passing a vehicle, ask yourself these questions

Before passing a car, ask yourself:

• Is it legal?
• Is it safe?
• Is it worth it?

Similarly, you can ask the above questions before you try to speed up your car. Any time you make traffic manoeuvres, such as changing lanes or passing other vehicles, you are creating a risk for yourself and others on the road. So, avoid making unnecessary traffic manoeuvres such as continuously changing lanes or passing other vehicles unless needed.

Developing a personal risk preference is essential to safe and responsible driving. Here are some guidelines that students can use to build their individual risk preferences:

Always prioritize safety. Before making any decision while driving, ask yourself if it is safe. Consider your actions' potential risks and consequences and ensure you do not endanger yourself or others.

Think about the best choice. When faced with a decision while driving, ask yourself what the best course of action is. Consider all available options and choose the safest, most efficient, and most responsible.

Follow the law. It is important to always follow the rules of the road. This means following the speed limit, using turn signals, and obeying traffic signals and signs. By following the law, you reduce your risk of being involved in a collision.

Consider the potential costs. Before making any decision while driving, think about the possible costs. This includes not only financial costs but also potential physical and emotional costs. For example, speeding may save you a few minutes. Still, it can also result in a collision, injury, or even loss of life.

Take responsibility for your decisions. Remember that the decisions you make while driving have consequences. By taking responsibility for your decisions, you can avoid making risky choices that could lead to a collision or other adverse outcomes.

By following these guidelines, students can develop a personal risk preference that prioritizes safety, responsibility, and awareness while driving.
