The Mind Driving Answer To This Conundrum – DON’T HIT THEM!

SPEED KILLS MINDSET versus MIND DRIVING MINDSET
Speeds Kills	Poor Driving Kills – Better Driving Saves Lives
Don’t break arbitrary numerical speed limits	Minimise risk of collisions, defined as
Simplistic / Views speed in isolation to Surprise and Space in the infinitely variable number of situations faced	Nuanced / realistic. Sees Speed in relation to Surprise and Space
Numerical Speed / Illegal or Inappropriate Speed in terms of arbitrarily set speed limits	Safe Speed / Appropriate for the road situation
Drivers direct attention to speedometer out of fear of being caught speeding	Drivers scan the road ahead for danger and drive at a safe speed intuitively with regard to surprise and space
Emphasis of Hands and Feet skills	Emphasis on Eye and Brain (plus Hands and Feet) skills
Emphasis on the Highway Code and compliance with Rules	Emphasis on processing information to minimise risk
Punish after the event	Prevent before the event
Doing what’s easy	Doing what’s right
Wasteful (Doing the wrong things)	Best use of scarce resources. Doing the right things
Poundshop policing / Policing by fear and coercion	Proper policing / Policing by consent
Emphasis on enforcement / compliance	Emphasis on driver judgement achieved through better education and training / aspiration and willing co-operation

Riddled with waste (John Seddon)	Value Work / little administration
Punish drivers who exceed arbitrary numerical speed limits	Train and encourage drivers to take personal responsibility for driving at a safe speeds which minimise risk to themselves and others through collisions
Extrinsic Motivation (McGregor’s Theory X)	Intrinsic Motivation (McGregor’s Theory Y)
Reductionist / focuses solely on speed	Whole System / focuses on speed in relation to surprise and space
Focus on fearful compliance and punishment	Focus on natural human values, not to harm self and others
Lose / Lose & Lose Win thinking	Win / Win thinking
System Doing To	System Doing With
Technology led (Speed Cameras)	Human led. Training for better driving
Speed Awareness Courses for compliance	Mid Driving Courses for skills improvement
Disengaging and remote (current zeitgeist)	Engaging and personal with incorporation of discretion
Alienation and resentment	Supporting and encouraging
One driving test	Lifelong learning and retraining
Breeds resentment in driver caught being human / doing their best / undermines the law	Breeds gratitude /encourages support for the law
Doesn’t make for better drivers	Does make for better drivers
Quick Fix thinking	Long term thinking
Uses technocratic enforcement	Personalised and humane
Resisted and disliked	Accepted and welcomed
Officers having to justify their activity in a way that they never have to do for other offences	No need to justify their activity
Admin waste	All value work
Learning to Drive (Hand and Feet)	Coaching to drive better (eye and brain
No emphasis on risk	Risk management
Noi discretion	Discretion
No night school / group learning	Group learning cohorts
Lees simulators	More simulators
Accountants mentality	Entrepreneurs mentality
Pessimistic	Hopeful / Optimistic
Facile and unsophisticated. Blunt instrument. One size fits all	Sophisticated / systemic and nuanced
Betrays a superficial understanding of what causes crashes and how to reduce them	Continuous learning
Product of Civil Service / Road Safety Industrial Complex organisational groupthink	Product of Stephen Haley (Real people, real drivers, real driving instructors’insights)
Messy Objectives including aspects irrelevant to safety eg climate change	Clear Objectives all focussed on road safety
Soundbite virtue signalling (Vision Zero)	Hard graft
One size fits all enforcement	Appropriate enforcement focussed on those that most need punishing / taking off the road including with bad attitudes
