First principle of the Safe System approach:
1 People make mistakes.
We need to recognise that some crashes are
inevitable. What we shouldn’t accept is the
death or serious injury that results from those crashes.

“The causes of accidents are relatively diverse, but two psychological factors cut across the three VRU groups: (1) drivers often expect only to meet motor vehicles at junctions and so develop habitual
attention strategies whereby they do not attend to VRUs and the parts of the road where VRUs tend to be present, and
(2) VRUs are not always properly aware of their own vulnerability and so do not always act appropriately to protect themselves."

[Pedestrians] greatly overestimate how visible they are to motorists and even more seriously, it seems that people can forget they are pedestrians altogether.

… many police reports of heavy goods vehicle drivers who were killed soon after leaving their trucks. The drivers in all these accidents were apparently walking around in the mind set of a motorist, and so continued to act as if they were protected from other traffic.
