What is red mist? |
Driving in emergency response is demanding and can be stressful. Red mist means your attention is not on your driving but on some other specific goal; you have become emotionally and physiologically caught up in the incident. It is a term used to describe the state of mind of a driver who becomes determined to achieve some objective on the journey, catching a vehicle in front or getting to an incident in the shortest time. Fixed attention on a particular goal can lead to blindness to other potential hazards such as pedestrians or other vehicles at intersections. This means the driver is at best less able and at worst no longer capable of realistically assessing driving risk. The key to preventing this state of mind is to concentrate on the driving task rather than the incident. |
