Alex JerrimDriver behaviour?
Shared responsibility
You must want to change
Is change necessary? Kleenheat
incidents
Kleenheat HVs travel approx. 20 million kilometres annually.
That’s 345,000 km between crashes or, on average, 98,000 kms per vehicle.
…but do I personally need to
change?
In the way I control my vehicle ....... 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
In city and urban driving................. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
In highway driving ......................... 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
In adverse driving conditions .......... 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
In relation to care and courtesy ...... 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Much worse Same Much better

Unpacking my view on expert HV
driving
Does your view of ‘expert’ include:
• Thinking skills

important
It’s so easy not to notice things

We become familiar with our environment
How do you feel?
What are you thinking?
What else are you doing?
As an experienced driver:
11
Consider the possible harm
12
Knowledge might not change our behaviour
Thinking skills
Learn from
incidents
regardless
of who is ‘at
fault’.
What happened? Why?

Review your view on expert HV
driving
Learn from incidents regardless of who is ‘at fault’.
(Ask what and why of myself.)
Feeling skills
Magnify the ones that help you
Reduce those that don’t help
(Ask: How true? How helpful?)
