Question

which of the following is false regarding proactive and reactive driving?
o a. a reactive approach focuses on eliminating problems before they have a chance to appear and a proactive approach is based on responding to events after they have happened.
o b. the difference between these two approaches is the perspective each one provides in assessing actions and events.
o c. being proactive means that you will spend more time planning and preparing for the future than you will dealing with emergencies.
o d. proactive driving is driving with the aim to anticipate possible hazards and take action to reduce, minimize, or avoid danger before it can occur. most of your attention should be given to looking forward and scanning for hazards that are developing ahead of you.

Explanation:

• Option a: A reactive approach responds to events after they happen, while a proactive approach focuses on eliminating problems before they occur. This option has the definitions reversed.
• Option b: The difference between proactive and reactive driving is indeed the perspective (time - based: future for proactive, past for reactive in terms of event handling) in assessing actions and events.
• Option c: Proactive driving involves more planning (for future hazards) rather than just dealing with emergencies (which is more reactive).
• Option d: Proactive driving aims to anticipate hazards ahead (looking forward) and take preventive action.

Answer:

A. A reactive approach focuses on eliminating problems before they have a chance to appear and a proactive approach is based on responding to events after they have happened.
