 Notes on the 6 Star Approach to Cooperative Driving
Driving cooperatively involves anticipating changes in the driving situation and responding early so you keep yourself and
other road users safe. By using the DriveWise 6 Star Approach to Cooperative Driving you have an increased chance of
avoiding collisions.

PreCheck

1.1 Make sure you are physically and mentally prepared to drive
Before driving, assess your physical and mental state; make sure you are alert and ready to drive. If you are feeling tired, or
sick, or upset, reconsider driving.

1.2 Plan your route before you drive and prepare accordingly
Before setting off, take a moment to plan your route to avoid putting yourself in higher risk situations; it can also save you
time. Consider the following:

• Time of day - avoid rush hours and driving into the sun when possible
• The time it takes to get to your destination - allow yourself enough time
• Weather conditions - add extra travel time if the weather is bad
• Possible construction and detours'

1.3 Perform a circle check each time before you drive

Vehicle maintenance is an important safety consideration. Cooperative driving lessens wear and tear, but your vehicle will
eventually require maintenance. Always be aware of the condition of your vehicle and follow the recommended
maintenance schedule. Every time you drive, perform a circle check. This can prevent expensive repairs and serious
incidents. Before getting into your vehicle, check for:

• Fluid leaks
• Tire wear and over or under inflation
• Damage to your vehicle
• Hazards around your vehicle, such as kids, toys and bikes

1.4 Fasten your seat belt

Once you are in your vehicle, ensure your seat, head restraint and mirrors are properly adjusted and then
fasten your seatbelt.

LookAhead

2.1 Maintain a minimum eye lead time of 15 seconds

Look well ahead while driving to spot problems early, so you can respond to them well in advance. This leads to smooth
and precise control of the car. Eye lead time should be 15 seconds, which is about 11/2 blocks in the city and about 400
metres when driving on the freeway.

6
 Scan360

3.1 Move your eyes - glance, don't stare

To help avoid highway hypnosis and be aware of the big picture, move your eyes every 2 seconds, glancing for problems
around your vehicle.

3.2 Check your mirrors regularly - always know who is coming up behind and beside you
Check your mirrors every 5 seconds to see any vehicles approaching from behind or from the sides and see them before
they enter your blind spots. Check your mirrors before and after turns and lane changes so you are always aware of what
is around you. Monitor your mirrors and look for outs while stopped to avoid being rear-ended by a distracted or careless
driver. Rear-end collisions are common and result in the highest percentage of injuries.

3.3 Check your mirrors and blind spots before making any manoeuvres
Before making any turns, lane changes, evasive or emergency manoeuvres, check your mirrors and do a shoulder check to make
sure there are no vehicles or other road users in your blind spots.

3.4 Scan all intersections Left-Centre-Right

Scan all intersections to make sure no one is running a red light or stop sign. Look for cars making left turns or pedestrians
crossing without looking. Look and listen for emergency vehicles on approach. Look and listen for trains at all tracks.
Always be sure it is 100% safe before entering an intersection.

3.5 Scan under and through vehicles

When driving by parked cars, take a quick glance through the windows for problems, such as a pedestrian that might step
out onto the street. As you approach stationary vehicles, look under and through them for movement.

3.6 Ground check the tires of other vehicles for movement

Check the front tires of stationary vehicles for direction or motion. Check the tires of moving vehicles as well; anticipate
vehicles drifting into your lane or vehicles that may cross the centre lane. Do not always rely on signals, as signals can lie,
but tires do not.

7
 ManageRisks

4.1 Adjust your speed to conditions

When driving, always adjust your speed to match the driving conditions. When the weather changes and your visibility
and/or traction is reduced, slow down and increase your following distance to compensate for the poor driving conditions.
Adjust in busy areas, when driving through construction, and when approaching and passing hazards.

4.2 Use the Lane of Least Resistance

Drive in the lane that gives you the best view ahead, one that's moving the best and the one with the least amount of
hazards (the safest lane).

4.3 When you spot a hazard, cover your brake and/or horn
When you spot a hazard or potential problem, cover your brake to reduce stopping distance and cover your horn in case
you need to get eye contact, or warn other road users. By covering your brake and horn, you reduce your reaction ti me
should you need to brake or honk.

4.4 Use your horn proactively

If used appropriately, the horn is an effective means of communicating with other road users. Use your horn early and
briefly to stop a problem from developing or to make eye contact with another road user.

4.5 Pick a Point of No Return at all green lights

At all stale green lights choose the point at which you feel you could no longer safely stop for the amber. Factor in your
speed, the road surface, traffic behind you, and the size and weight of your vehicle.

4.6 Avoid backing when possible

Back in if a drive-through space is not available; avoid backing out of your parking spot.

8
 MaintainSpace

5.1 Maintain a safe following distance of 3 seconds, increase in

adverse conditions
In case of an emergency, a safe following distance will allow you to stop in time or give you sufficient distance to manoeuvre to
an escape route.

5.2 Go with the flow of traffic

Going with the flow of traffic minimizes unnecessary, higher-risk manoeuvres, such as being passed or passing other
vehicles. Match the flow of traffic, up to the speed limit.

5.3 Stay out of blind spots and keep yours clear

When driving, always make sure you are staying out of other drivers' blind spots - reduces the risk of them moving over
into you. Also make sure you are checking your mirrors regularly to spot any road users who enter your blind spot s. If a
road user stays in your blind spot for an extended period of time, adjust your s peed so your blind spot is clear - this frees
up your escape route to the side.

5.4 Always have an escape route

Remember to keep your blind spots clear and avoid staying in other drivers' blind spots or driving next to other vehicles for
extended periods of time. Keep space in front when slowing or stopped, so you can avoid being rear -ended if the vehicle
behind you cannot stop in time. Whenever you stop behind a vehicle, brake early to maintain space in front and control the
traffic behind. Monitor your mirrors and plan an escape route to the front or to the sides.

5.5 Keep a safe distance from parked vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians
When driving near parked vehicle, cyclists, and pedestrians, leave extra space to ensure safety.
If you must drive close to them, drive at a safe speed and cover your brake and horn if you spot a
hazard

9
 BeCooperative

6.1 Communicate your intentions to other road users and drive in the appropriate lane
Use everything available to communicate your intentions to other road users; i.e. your signals, four-ways, reverse lights,
brake lights, horn, etc. Driving in the appropriate lane, such as driving in the left lane for left-hand turns, is another way of
communicating. It also ensures you will not need to make sudden lane changes. By communicating properly with other road
users you become predictable and it becomes easy to share the road cooperatively.

6.2 Share the road with all road users

There are many types of road users - cars, trucks, emergency vehicles, buses, cyclists, pedestrians - and you must
adjust your driving to share the road safely with these difference types of road users. Take specially precautions when
necessary and remember there can be up to 4 different generations of people on the roads from all parts of the world - be
proactive in keeping them all safe.

6.3 Drive efficiently

When you use cooperative driving habits, you become a safer and more efficient driver. Make a conscious effort to drive as
efficiently as possible and you will find it easier to share the roadway as well.

 EcoDriving Report Card
If you have been driving, you can rate yourself, or you can rate a friend or family member on
their EcoDriving habits. The report card will tell you how much fuel and money you, or
someone else, can save.

EcoDriving tips to help you be a more fuel-efficient driver:

Fill out the report card by circling your typical driving style in each row.
i.e. If you are mostly a "Rushed" driver, then you can save up to $550 annually if you follow the above
tips and develop fuel efficient driving habits.

28
Worksheet: MoneyWise Driving Habits Part 1
If you were to drive as efficiently as possible and save an average of 39% on gas every month, how much of a
difference would that make over one year?

Using the example below, figure out how much of a difference 39% would make over one year.
➢ You work 16 hours per week
➢ You make $15.75/hour
➢ You drive to work and school and for social activities on the weekends
➢ 10,000 km/year (the average adult drives 20,000 km/year)
➢ Your car does on average 10L/100km
➢ Gas costs $2.00/litre

Use a calculator/phone to determine the following:

How much money would you make in a year (52 weeks)?

How many litres of gas would you use per year? 1000 litres

How much would you spend on gas in a year at $2.00/litre?

What is 39% of the amount you would spend on gas in a year? !

As gas prices rise and you begin to drive more frequently, fuel efficient driving becomes crucial to reduce
your fuel costs.

Always drive efficiently – it increases your safety and reduces your fuel costs!

 PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

At DriveWise we know practice from home is very important. Every student under the age of 19
years had a parent or guardian sign a consent form to allow a learners licence to be issued in
B.C. By signing for a learners licence, you have also signed stating your new driver will
receive at least 60 hours of on road driving experience. The DriveWise course offers 13.5
hours. Students who do not receive the recommended 60 hours of practice before they attempt
the ICBC road test, generally lack necessary experience making the ICBC road test much more
difficult to pass. We offer discounted lesson packages to help if additional practice is needed.
Please call our office for more information.

Your driving practice should include skills listed below. Our program will teach these skills,
but each skill will require consistent practice in your everyday driving.

• Pre-trip check
• Starting up and pulling away
• Stopping
• Backing up
• Space margins, See -Think - Do
• Driving straight through
• Right and left turns
• Driving on hills and curves
• Starting and parking on hills
• Stall Parking
• Two and three point turns
• Parallel parking
• Sharing the road, yielding
• Lane position, lane changes
• Driving in traffic
