Advanced Driving Hub

So do you mean accept short term safety deterioration in anticipation of safety gain from potentially improved direction finding? You could, of course, achieve gain-gain by stopping to make the call, couldn't you?

Did you get involved in improving your driving to end up just 'average'?

I recently read a book called "Will it make the boat go faster?", about an Olympic rowing team training and competing. Spoiler: they got Gold. Perhaps using a phone while driving could have a similar challenge: will my driving deteriorate or improve? If deteriorate, a. how will you tell; b...

SEAT's insurers wanted £5k to add 17yr old Foal as a learner See my earlier post.

I'm not a psychologist, so am only guessing. Could the mental effort required to verbalise (and filter - there's no way we can say aloud everything we see) be where mental workload conflict occurs?

For Foal driving my car, I used a short-term (by the month), L driver only, policy. Is that worth investigating?

Not the one I was thinking of, but interesting none the less. http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0018720817690639 Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Effects of Cognitive Load on Driving Performance: The Cognitive Control Hypothesis Objective: The objectiv...

I can't post a link to it right now, but I'm fairly sure that I've seen research to suggest that commentary is good for training purposes but can be counterproductive at times of high workload.

It may well be over simplistic, however it doesn't alter the fact that we have a finite amount of brain power and if it's being used for one thing it can't be used for something else.

It's been mentioned on here or ADUK, the way Japanese 'bullet' train drivers physically point at signals and say them out aloud. Forcing yourself to physically acknowledge signs makes it more difficult to ignore them!
