SEE - Search, Evaluate & Execute

SEE — a simple and powerful strategy — is to Search, Evaluate, Execute.

It is the strategy to help you understand what is going on in traffic and to be constantly planning and implementing a course of action. To SEE is to Search for factors that might lead to risky situations, to Evaluate how the factors might interact to create risk, and to Execute an action to maintain a margin of safety. To SEE is to ask yourself such questions as: What’s the other person going to do? What if that driver doesn’t see me? What if there’s gravel in that curve ahead? What if that car doesn’t yield the right-of-way at that intersection? These everyday riding situations have something in common: if a strategy for dealing with them isn’t employed, they can easily lead to a crash. To put it simply, you must continually SEE.

As you develop your riding skills, apply the SEE strategy to give yourself time and space. It works anywhere, and can help to ensure your safety and the safety of others.
