Sample Video Transcript

Below is a transcript of the video sample provided for this module:

The first type of environmental hazard is related to conditions that reduce your visibility. This could include dense fog or glare from the sun. However, the most common hazard that reduces visibility is driving at night. Driving at night reduces your visibility even if you have perfect vision because your field of view is limited - your peripheral vision is reduced and your forward vision is limited by your headlights. Additionally, darkness makes it harder to distinguish angles, curves, and dips in the road. Furthermore, darkness limits our ability to see contrasting colors and distinctive edges of objects, people, and animals. All of these factors significantly increase your risk of a crash.
