FAQ
Q1. Why is Hazard Prediction Training (KYT) for pedestrians useful for preventing accidents?
A. Even if pedestrians follow traffic rules, they may encounter unexpected dangers from surrounding vehicles, bicycles, and motorcycles. In Hazard Prediction Training (KYT), you can learn through animation about "what kinds of situations dangers lurk in" and "what actions can help prevent accidents" for pedestrians based on actual accident data and traffic situations.
This helps prevent accidents because you can experientially understand the importance of pedestrians thoroughly checking for safety.
Q2. What kind of hazard avoidance skills can be acquired through Hazard Prediction Training (KYT) for pedestrians?
A. Through Hazard Prediction Training (KYT), you can acquire the ability to avoid danger to prevent accidents as a pedestrian, such as "checking both sides for safety even when the traffic light is green," "paying attention to the movements of following cars and bicycles even when the vehicle is stopped," and "paying attention to the movements of vehicles even in a parking lot."
