EXERCISE
When a person learns to drive, many different types of errors can happen. Make a list of
things that can go wrong. This should include vehicle-related errors as well as traffic-
related errors. Once you have finalized the list classify the errors using Reason's
framework. Make a table to present your results, such as Table 18.4.
Discuss how you can use the list to
1. Propose better design of the vehicle/road environment
2. Propose further training of the driver
3. In particular, discuss how you can classify traffic violations
