Discuss in your teamIf you were the pick-up
driver - How could you have prevented this
accident ?- Why, do you think, did he not do
these things ?If you were the passenger of the
pick-up (or the truck) - How could you have
prevented this accident ?- Should you STOP a
driver that is rushing?If you were the truck
driver- How could you have prevented this
accident ?- Would you have thought that the
canter would cross? If you were the
supervisor/manager of these people- How could
you have prevented this accident ?

What you must learn from this accident- As a
driver DRIVE TO SURVIVE (drive defensively)
do not rush, take your time scan the road
ahead for hazards be prepared for unexpected
moves of other drivers STOP at STOP-Signs
(follow the rules of the road)- As a
passenger STOP/Slow down a driver when he is
speeding when he takes risks even when he
is your boss even when you do not know each
other even when you are from different
cultures even if your not sure of yourself
