Practical application of risk-related cognitive mechanisms in the context of road traffic

specific samples illustrating the application of the model of cognitive-risky behavior:
1) Errors in risk assessment. Drivers who underestimate the severity of the situation or overestimate their capabilities are more likely to make poor decisions that lead to road accidents.
2) Awareness raising programs. The focus is on correcting the cognitive assessment system by presenting realistic examples, modeling risks (e.g., simulators in the driver training system), and identifying the difference between subjectively perceived and actual capabilities.
3) Behavioral interventions. For example, instant feedback (via car screens or smart apps) to help the driver assess the actual level of risk.
4) The effect of experience. Excessive confidence of drivers with a long driving experience can lead to an underestimation of risks.
