Is change necessary? Kleenheat

incidents

Kleenheat HVs travel approx. 20 million kilometres annually.

That’s 345,000 km between crashes or, on average, 98,000 kms per vehicle.

Unpacking my view on expert HV

driving

Does your view of ‘expert’ include:

• Thinking skills

are

important

It’s so easy not to notice things

We become familiar with our environment

How do you feel?

What are you thinking?

What else are you doing?

As an experienced driver:

11

Consider the possible harm

12

Knowledge might not change our behaviour

Thinking skills

Learn from

incidents

regardless

of who is ‘at

Learn from incidents regardless of who is ‘at fault’.

Feeling skills

Magnify the ones that help you

Reduce those that don’t help
