In the SEE strategy, what does the 'E' for Evaluate primarily require you to assess?
Answer: The likelihood and severity of potential hazards
Evaluate means determining the risk level of hazards you've searched for — how likely they are to become threats and how severe the outcome could be.
A parked delivery truck on the right side of the road is best managed by:
Answer: Moving left within your lane to increase space from the truck's doors
Shifting left within your lane creates a buffer against a suddenly opening car door or a pedestrian stepping out.
When approaching a curve with limited visibility, your primary SEE action should be:
Answer: Search beyond the curve by using the vanishing point as a reference
The vanishing point — where the road appears to disappear — tells you whether the curve is tightening or opening, guiding your speed adjustment.
Which scenario best illustrates the 'Execute' step of SEE?
Answer: Smoothly braking and moving to the center of the lane to avoid a pothole
Execute is the action phase — physically applying a response such as braking, swerving, or repositioning to manage the identified hazard.
A motorcyclist sees a ball roll into the street from a residential driveway. What is the most critical SEE evaluation?
Answer: Whether a child is likely to follow the ball into the street
A ball in the street is a clue that a child may chase it, making an unseen pedestrian the highest-priority hazard to evaluate.
When riding in a group, how does SEE strategy change compared to riding solo?
Answer: You must increase following distance to maintain your own search zone
In a group, longer following distances are required so each rider has their own adequate search zone and reaction time.
You are approaching a green traffic light that has been green for a long time. Your best SEE response is to:
Answer: Cover the brakes and reduce speed, prepared for the light to change
A 'stale' green light is likely to change soon; covering the brakes and slowing down lets you stop safely if needed.
