Purpose of the Document
• This PowerPoint presentation contains 14 video clips, that is, one clip
for each in-car session included in the Teaching Aid.
• Watching these video clips will enable learner drivers to recognize

both good and poor driving behaviour in various driving situations and
apply the OEA (Observe – Evaluate – Act) strategy.

How to use this document
1. Watching the clips

In class: At the end of a theoretical module, the instructor takes a few
minutes to show the video clip for the in-car session that follows the
module.
Self-learning: The student watches the video clip on the Internet if it
could not be shown in class.
Look in the rearview mirrors and watch the speedometer (in miles
per hour) to gather information about the situation.

2. Applying the OEA strategy
For each clip, ask yourself the following questions:
1. What are the potential risks (Observe)?

2. What events could potentially occur (Evaluate)?
3. What actions should be taken (Act)?
Then, look at the table that follows the video clip to complete your
answers.
