Detecting dangerous driving scenarios has been shown to be affected by driving experience, risk-taking or risk perception, and visual search. Given that the results are largely mixed, it is important to understand which individual differences affect drivers' hazard perception abilities. Three hundred ninety-eight drivers recruited throughout the USA participated in an online study by completing a hazard perception video task, two visual perception tasks, and surveys. A latent structural equation model was evaluated finding that visual perception skills and knowledge of traffic laws predicted hazard perception skills. Unlike much of the existing literature, driving experience and risk perception did not predict hazard perception skills. Additionally, the results of a latent structural equation mediation model revealed that driving experience did not mediate the relationship between hazard perception skills and knowledge of traffic laws. These results may prove useful in redesigning training programs and targeting the most susceptible individuals to decrease crash risks.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Currently, it is becoming increasingly important to study progressive methods of teaching driving. This article presents a comparative analysis of traditional and progressive approaches to driving education, using the GDE (Goals for Driving Education) matrix of driving education goals as a comparative criterion. An analysis of the rationale for a progressive approach based on the theories of foreign authors was carried out. The advantages of a progressive approach to driving education open up opportunities to bring the process of driver training to a new level — the formation of not only driving skills, but also the development of self-efficacy skills — the driver's self-assessment of his/her capabilities and limitations when driving, assessing the level of risk of his/her actions, confidence in his/her abilities. Driver self-efficacy skills serve to make driving safer in a road traffic environment. The analysis of international experience indicates that driving training within the framework of only one approach cannot fully meet the need for the development of cognitive skills of various levels and fully meet all the goals of the driver training model according to the matrix-GDE. To implement all the goals set for driving training and aimed at developing a wide range of driving competencies, an integrated approach is required.</p>

Research suggests that novice drivers are most susceptible to errors when detecting and responding to hazards. If this were true, then hazard training should be effective in improving novice drivers’ performance. However, there is limited evidence to support this effectiveness. Much of this research has overlooked a fundamental aspect of psychological research: theory. Although four theoretical frameworks were developed to explain this process, none have been validated. We proposed a theoretical framework to more accurately explain drivers’ behavior when interacting with hazardous situations. This framework is novel in that it leverages support from visual attention and driving behavior research. Hazard-related constructs are defined and suitable metrics to evaluate the stages in hazard processing are suggested. Additionally, individual differences which affect hazard-related skills are also discussed. This new theoretical framework may explain why the conflicts in current hazard-related research fail to provide evidence that training such behaviors reduces crash risk. Future research is necessary to empirically test this framework.
