A 360° Scan with your eyes helps identify hazards before they become dangerous. Using Search Evaluate Execute (SEE) to the Front, Sides, and Behind gives riders a 360° situational awareness.
Humans are creatures of habit, so building the search “habit” helps prioritize what’s important – including potential Escape Paths. SEE – Z scan reinforces far-near and side-to-side searching. Head turns left and right give spatial information. Checking our mirrors gives us information about what can be happening behind us.
A good scan provides the ability to respond to dangerous situations – before we must react for crash prevention.
