In most general terms, the goal is largely to answer a single question: “Why didn’t the driver respond sooner?” The cause of most collisions lies in the answer. The book’s perspective is psychological. It views roadway events through the eyes of the driver. This contrasts with the third-party god’s eye view that appears in accident reconstruction diagrams and other analyses which are primarily based in physics and cookbook science. Physics cannot be ignored, but roadway events can only be explained by examining driver psychology. Drivers act based on their perceived reality which differs from the physical
