The 3 Behavioral Issues of Driving :-

There are three behavioral aspects of driving:

1- Readiness

2- Arousal

3- They are the process of collecting and interpreting information.

1- Readiness: - Education; of skill; It is a function of the joint effect of motivation and maturity.

Things to consider before driving include:

1- The driver prepares himself for the trip

2- The driver prepares the vehicle for the trip

3- Anticipate road, traffic and weather conditions.

2- Stimulation : It is a value found in people as a process that leads to a goal or moves a planned plan or purpose with behavior.

✔ Arousal enables purposeful behavior to be directed and reinforced. A person with high motivation for work results will consider the problems they face as a challenge and work harder for the result.

✔ An alert and motivated driver can help determine what options he has in traffic. In addition, a motivated driver understands that the decisions and actions he takes in any traffic activity must be quick.

3- The process of gathering and interpreting information : The process of gathering information through driving is done through our senses, and the process is called sensation.
Sensation : - It is the first contact that our senses make with the physical things in our environment.
Among our senses, the eye [80 to 90 percent] is the sensory organ that plays the most important role in detecting the environment.

These are our senses
- seeing,
- hearing,
- smelling;
- navigation; Among our five senses, the only sense we don't use (don't need) to collect and interpret information while driving is our tongue (taste).

- Seeing : We gather the most information from our senses, i.e. more than 80%-90%, through our eyes. situation, the weather in front of us, any movement in front of us, etc. . . We can see and observe with our eyes.

Hearing : After our eyes, we collect the most information through our ears, and among the information we collect by hearing, the unusual sound we hear on our vehicle occupies the highest position, while traffic whistles, tire bursts and various other important sound information for us and driving are collected through our ears.

- Smelling : One of the ways we collect information while driving is smelling, and if we try to mention among the information collected by our nose, the smell of brake pads, the smell of friction, the burning of electric lines. . . They will be mentioned.

- Sensing : Sensing is one of the ways we collect information while driving, and if we try to mention among the data collected by hand, the temperature of the engine (if the temperature gauge on the dash board does not work or is damaged for various reasons), if we want to check the condition of the brakes or feet, the damage of the steering part (front tire Joko ), to determine gear position, . . . And for such our hand plays the biggest role.

The 3 processes of data collection and interpretation

1- Understanding

2- Attention

3- They are understanding.

1- Perception : Receiving information from our environment through our senses; It is a process of transformation and sending to our mind .

2- Attention:- It is the process of selecting the main and desired information from the information that comes to us through our senses, i.e. seeing, hearing, smelling and touching, and drivers should know that it is important to focus on the information that helps them to drive.

3- Perception: It involves the process of processing, interpreting and reaching a decision based on the information we receive through our senses . Therefore, drivers should develop good judgment and decision-making skills. In order for this decision to be effective, drivers must fully concentrate on the task of driving.

Part 2.3 Causes of behavioral changes

Causes of change in behavior: Among the things that are said to contribute significantly to the change in behavior of drivers while driving, the following factors take the biggest place:-

-Physical condition : When we say- we mean driving when we feel pain, driving when we feel tired, etc.

Alcohol spreads quickly in our blood and reduces the normal functioning of our brain and affects our ability to make decisions, emotions and behavior.

Alcohol and traffic accidents

It is an open secret that the traffic accidents that happen day by day in our country are not good for our country. One of the things that are making this risk worse is the increasing number of alcohol drinkers in our country.

And when we associate alcohol with driving, the horror becomes even greater. I think it is clear to all of us that there have been many deaths and injuries caused by drivers who use this dangerous substance to drive drunk and by pedestrians who carelessly step on the road while drunk.

So, dear drivers, if we drink, we don't drive, and if we drive, we don't drink.
A countryman who says that it is not right to be careful before falling ill. It's like saying that.

Part 4.3 Alcohol and the law

▶ A driver can be said to be intoxicated when the maximum blood alcohol level exceeds zero point eight grams per liter (0.8ml) or zero point four grams per liter (0.8ml) of pure alcohol in the breath.

▶ If the driver refuses to be tested, he is considered to be under the influence of alcohol.

▶ If a driver is found to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the traffic controller can impound the vehicle for 12 hours, unless he has someone else drive the vehicle for him.

Calling another driver who has not drunk alcohol and handing over or giving the driving job to him.

▶ Developing the habit of drinking alcohol at home

▶ Letting a drunk driver drive the vehicle

▶ Using Loktran Sports

▶ Spending the night at the place where we drank

What to do when you encounter a driver who is intoxicated with alcohol

Therefore, it is appropriate to be extra careful while driving during this season.

▶ Try not to approach drivers when you see them driving under the influence of alcohol. Because drunk drivers can put their own lives and the lives of others at risk.

It is better to call the police instead of approaching.

Do not approach the vehicle as much as possible

Pointing to law enforcement officers who are close

Calling the police station

Chapter 6 The three areas of driving characteristics

The three areas of driving behavior: - The three areas of driving behavior are called:-

1- emotional behavior

2- Cognitive (mental) behavior

3- They are characteristic of skill.

1- Emotional characteristics : - Desire; Attitude It includes values, motivations, and any goal-oriented human action.

For example: signaling before changing lanes is a feature of emotional driving. This means that the driver shows his initiative to avoid driving mistakes. Without this motivation, however, errors will occur, and the driver will not show signs. Learning to slow down the impulse to avoid making driving mistakes is a critical emotional driving skill.

2- Perceiving/mental/behaviour :- understanding, thinking; It involves reasoning and making any decisions and considering people's actions.

For example: signaling before changing rows is not just an emotional behavior; It is also available in a state of consideration. That said, the driver compiles data using conventional calculations. Mindful driving skills are essential to learning to make the right decisions at all times while driving.

3- Skill behavior: It includes any skill behavior that is performed by the command of the mind and the movement of our body. These qualities require mental and motor coordination.

For example: signaling before changing rows is an action that requires deep movement and the coordination of our eyes and hands; Physical readiness (perhaps carrying fruit if needed); Neck movement to look back; It requires the process of breathing change and so on to be done at the same time.
