FAQ
Q1. What are the benefits of providing Hazard Prediction Training (KYT) for the elderly?
A. It is an opportunity to become aware that a narrowing of the field of vision and a decline in judgment and motor skills can lead to accidents. Seniors will be able to independently choose safe actions, such as how to cross the road and choosing to wear bright clothing and reflectors that will make them less likely to be overlooked even at night.
Q2. Is Hazard Prediction Training (KYT) for the elderly also important for drivers?
A. Yes, elderly people account for approximately 60% of traffic accident fatalities, so they are also important as a hazard prediction topic for drivers. Elderly people tend to cross roads in dangerous places where there are no traffic lights, which is dangerous because it makes them difficult to spot, especially at night. By learning about such behavior of elderly people, you can use this training to prevent accidents.
