Before you begin
A crowded scene leaves fewer options if someone acts unexpectedly.
Use the checklist as a study aid. Adapt it to the actual question, the current local guidance and your instructor's advice rather than treating it as a universal driving procedure.
Your checklist
A quick reference
| Stage | What to focus on | Your check |
|---|---|---|
| Notice | Notice where your available space is narrowing. | What information is available? |
| Explain | A crowded scene leaves fewer options if someone acts unexpectedly. | Can I explain the reason? |
| Choose | Choose a plan that preserves time and room where possible. | What would I verify first? |
