Basic Road Safety 1

I will learn:

• The common risk factors people encounter when using Tasmania’s road system.
• Strategies to increase personal safety and the safety of others on the road.
• The individual roles and responsibilities of a road user (as a pedestrian, driver, passenger and/or rider)
• Positive attitudes and behaviours toward road use.

In typical lessons I might:

• Research the causes of the most common types of vehicular collisions
• Reflect on personal risk factors and the consequences of crashes
• Identify how road design and technology contribute to the safety of all users
• Describe the components and benefits of the Tasmanian road licensing system.

This course would suit someone who:

• Is unfamiliar with the requirements of using our road system.
• Is curious as to the causes of crashes on Tasmanian roads and the factors that contribute to them.
• Wants to make informed decisions as a driver, pedestrian, passenger or cyclist on Tasmanian roads.
• Enjoys classroom discussion and reflection.
