Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to apply low risk car driving behaviours. It includes applying relevant legislation applicable to low risk car driving, and applying low risk car driving behaviours and strategies. It also includes explaining risk factors that contribute to collisions or incidents when driving a car and applying operation and car control skills.This includes higher-order skills involving broad cognitive, technical, communication and vehicle management skills. It also requires knowledge about hazard perception, risk control and low risk driving behaviour, judgement, decision making and multi-tasking that builds on driver licence requirements across a range of vehicles and driving situations.Low risk car driving behaviours are applied without supervision.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
