So much to do and so little time to do it! At this time of year everyone starts to take risks, society goes into melt down and the risk factor of daily life can get overlooked.
As I am out and about, I am seeing people take risks that they probably wouldn't normally take. So far, I have seen a parent and child rush across a busy road child in hand, hardly looking and with a pedestrian crossing only 30 m away. In most store car parks I have taken to parking in the furthest corner possible, the blind reverses and broken wing mirrors are evidence of not taking care or attention. Stop junctions have become a law onto themselves, some drivers aren't even stopping merely joining the traffic.
What can we do to avoid these daily challenges:
- Take time out from situations, step back and reflect upon events going on around you
- Use Psychology - The Tortoise and the Hare analogy is a good example of this-remind me who gets to the finish line first
- Self reflect, self reflect and self reflect some more - Doing the right safe behavior impacts on yourself and others
- Keep your eyes moving at all times, be it in the street walking or while driving, be alert to the risk of danger and lower your risk by being the first to react.
