11.0 Factors Affecting Driver Performance.
The student recognizes the significant effects of alcohol and other drugs, fatigue, and emotions on the driving task. The student identifies alcohol, fatigue, and emotions as major factors in fatal motor vehicle crashes for individuals between 15 and 24 years of age.
The student recognizes alcohol use among youth can spiral into a series of problems
including poor driving performance and unlawful behaviors.
The student recognizes fatigue as a major problem for youthful drivers due to all the school-related activities, lack of structured sleep cycles, and late night activities. The student develops a plan to deal with other drivers, errors, and anger.
Anger management is a key element to preventing road rage issues recognizing that emotions and violent reactions of youth, as well as society in general, have been well documented during the past few years.
The student appraises inclement and extreme weather conditions and formulates predictions on vehicular and driver limitations before developing and executing responses; investigates roadway and vehicle technology, including occupant protection, to develop an understanding of the related uses and crash and injury protections; demonstrates proper use of occupant protection devices; and utilizes map reading and route planning techniques to avoid adverse driving conditions.
The student assesses vehicle operation and malfunctions to eliminate or prevent related problems by securing scheduled and unscheduled maintenance or repairs;
understands vehicle braking systems and utilizes proper braking techniques in favorable and unfavorable vehicular, weather, and roadway conditions;
understands vehicle performance and potential conflicts other motorized and non-motorized roadway users present and applies critical-thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving skills to respond appropriately.
Responses to Emergency Situations.

Divide Focal and Mental Attention Between Intended Travel Path and Other Tasks.
The student is expected to:
11.1.1. move focal vision from travel path to another location and back to travel path;
11.1.2. move focal vision within ½ second time frames; and
11.1.3. share attention more than one time to allow brain to perceive information.
Identify and Respond to Vehicle Failures.
The student is expected to:
11.2.1. demonstrate ability to recognize engine failure and respond with appropriate actions; 11.2.2.
11.2.3. demonstrate ability to recognize tire pressure failure and respond with appropriate actions.
Identify and Respond to Environmental Conditions.
The student is expected to:
11.3.1. demonstrate ability to recognize traction loss and respond with appropriate actions; 11.3.2. demonstrate ability to recognize when tires drop off pavement and respond with appropriate actions;
11.3.3. demonstrate ability to recognize sudden POT restrictions and respond with appropriate actions; and
11.3.4. demonstrate ability to recognize sudden LOS restrictions and respond with appropriate actions.
