Cars are involved in a huge proportion of work related journeys whether that is company vehicles pool cars or grey fleet vehicles used for work
The hazards car drivers face often develop quickly and close particularly in busy urban environments on commuter routes and at complex junctions

👀 Safe driving relies on drivers continuously scanning for cues that a hazard may be developing including

movement at junctions and side roads
pedestrians and cyclists emerging into view
changes in the speed or position of nearby vehicles

⚠️ These situations leave very little time to recognise and respond to a developing hazard making early hazard detection crucial
That is why at Esitu Solutions we tailor hazard perception tests to the driver and the vehicle rather than using a one size fits all approach and design car specific tests based on how hazards actually unfold in real world driving including grey fleet journeys for work

How early would you spot the developing hazard from a car driver’s point of view

🚨 Detecting hazards early is key to preventing collisions.

Every rider thinks they’re an expert at 👀 — but what about when those hazards are practically invisible to the untrained eye?

As a rider, you need to stay aware of your surroundings 🌍 and predict what could go wrong before it does.

At Esitu Solutions, we provide training for a wide range of road users 🚗🏍️🚛, each tailored to the individual vehicle.

How early would you have spotted the developing hazard from an HGV driver’s perspective?

🚨 At least one road traffic collision every day involves an ambulance (Safe In The Back – aace.org.uk).

That might not sound like a lot, but from minor crashes to major incidents, every collision has consequences for patients, staff, and the public 👥⚠️

That’s why we’ve designed a hazard perception test specifically for ambulance drivers 🚑👀

The UK Hazard Perception Test, introduced in 2002, was built for learner drivers. It uses car-driver footage without mirrors and fixed scoring windows ⏱️ — which can disadvantage experienced drivers who identify hazards earlier than expected.

It also does not reflect the vehicle-specific risks first-response drivers face, such as different sightlines, blind spots, stopping distances, and risk profiles 🛑↔️

Our Blue Lights Hazard Test, using real ambulance footage, aims to sharpen awareness and support safer decision-making under pressure 💡🚦

🛣️ Road safety must include those who are responsible for everyone else’s safety.
❓Should professional emergency service drivers be assessed using learner-driver tools?
📘 Case study coming soon showing how vehicle specific hazard perception can support safer blue light driving in practice.

🚘 On the road, hazards don’t always announce themselves.

This footage, filmed from a car driver’s perspective, shows a moment that could catch anyone off guard 👀

A highway maintenance vehicle suddenly stops on a roundabout — no warning, no extra time to react ⛔

Situations like this highlight why drivers must stay constantly aware of their surroundings. Safe driving isn’t just about following the rules of the road 📘🚦 — it’s about checking mirrors, anticipating the unexpected, and making informed decisions, all while remaining calm under pressure 🧠

⚠️ Awareness is often the difference between a near miss and a serious incident.
