In driving school, what does "SET" stand for?

In driving education, "SET" is an acronym that represents critical aspects of safe driving. The components—Smoothness, Expand field of view, and Think—are essential for maintaining control of the vehicle and ensuring a safe driving environment.

Smoothness refers to making gentle adjustments to the steering and controls, which helps in maintaining stability and comfort for passengers and allows for better vehicle handling. Expanding the field of view emphasizes the importance of being aware of one’s surroundings, which includes checking mirrors, scanning the road ahead, and being aware of pedestrians and other vehicles. Think involves cognitive processes such as assessing potential hazards, planned routes, and understanding traffic rules, which encourage anticipation and proactive decision-making while driving.

These concepts combined promote a more vigilant and cautious approach to driving, which is fundamental for both learners and experienced drivers alike.
