Risk Hierarchy: Information - Rider Ed - Driver Ed - Conspicuity - Bike Defect - Ultra-Defensive Riding - Crash Avoidance - Injury Mitigation - Crash Scene

        

Threat Matrix:

The idea is we scan down the matrix, but anything from a higher level pre-empts the scan. For example, if we are checking for Active Conspicuity and time comes up for a maneuver, the maneuvers tab comes into play. Similarly, if a crash causation comes up, dealing with that takes priority. Otherwise we are executing the SEE strategy under the various headings.

Tactical Level	Urgency	Scan for	Evaluate	Execute
Accident Avoidance		All crash causations		Go to Crash Avoidance section
Maneuvering		Maneuvering requirements	Safe to make intended maneuver?	Execute maneuver as per maneuvers section
Active Conspicuity		Objects blocking line of sight	Can the driver of all vehicles in the area see you?	Maneuver to increase your visibility to a driver
Space Cushion		Vehicles in or near your time/space cushion.	Can you maneuver to increase your space cushions?	Maneuver to increase your time/space cushion
