The driver’s developed psychological and cognitive ability to comprehensively assess risks and make safe decisions when approaching or overtaking heavy vehicles, such as trucks and buses, in order to ensure the safety of all road users. This judgment includes a set of integrated psychological and cognitive functions, such as accurate speed and distance analysis, choosing the optimal time to overtake, monitoring the “blind spots” of heavy trucks, and maintaining a safe distance before, during, and after overtaking. This type of preventive judgment is an integral part of defensive driving and preventive attention, requiring the driver to have a combination of constant attention, quick reactions, the ability to make decisions in stressful situations, and emotional control to ensure safe and responsible driving. It also reflects the driver’s level of awareness of potential dangers on the road, their understanding of their surroundings and their ability to act intelligently in accordance with traffic rules and ethical driving practices. Within the psychology of road behavior, this judgment is considered to be an indicator of the driver’s competence in driving large and dangerous vehicles, applying preventive driving skills and adapting to difficult situations to improve road safety.
