Answers
Answer: Even if playing on the side of road is not safe, an overtaking car, a speeding truck, a bike or anything can just hit the person which can be fatal for life. Often it is seen that children play cricket on road side and while chasing the ball they often comes in front of a vehicle.
Explanation: Spotting a hazard in time to take suitable evasive action and avoid a crash is an essential part of safe driving.
It's important to learn how to recognise and avoid hazards while driving to improve road safety for yourself and other road users.
A hazard can be any possible source of danger on or near the road that could lead to a crash, and it can come from any direction. It could be a:
child chasing a ball onto the road
parked car door opening
vehicle merging into your lane or stopping suddenly in front of you
slippery road surface after rain.
As drivers gain experience they develop skills in scanning the road ahead and around them, and they become better at recognising that a potentially dangerous situation is developing. This early detection gives them more time to make a decision about the hazard and respond to it appropriately.
