Most collisions do not happen because someone did not know how to steer or press the pedals.

They happen because drivers stop applying the basic thinking process behind safe driving.

One simple acronym explains what good drivers are doing constantly.

COAST

C – Concentration
Driving is not something you do on autopilot. Your full attention should be on the road, not your phone, not the radio, not your passengers.

O – Observation
Look well ahead. Use your mirrors properly. Scan for hazards before they become problems.

A – Anticipation
Ask yourself one question constantly.
What might happen next?

A pedestrian stepping out.
A car emerging from a junction.
A vehicle braking suddenly.

S – Space
Leave enough room around your vehicle.
Space in front, space at the sides, space behind.

Space gives you time to react.

T – Time
Good drivers never rush decisions.
They give themselves time to see, think and act.

When drivers stop using this process, mistakes start to happen.

When drivers apply COAST, the road becomes far more predictable.

Safe driving is not luck.
It is a thinking process.

COAST through your journey.
