Dear Reader,
Congratulations for registering to receive this e-book! I trust that the few minutes
you will spend will a valuable investment of your time. More importantly, I hope
that it will improve safety on the road. For you, your loved ones, your colleagues,
friends, and associates.
I may not know your particular situation but let me ask you some questions. Have
you ever been involved in a near-miss or actual accident on the road? Have you
ever witnessed a ghastly road accident that you still can’t forget about? Are you
afraid of injury or death while on the road, for yourself or your loved ones? How
recently have you contributed to a funeral fundraiser or attended a funeral after
losing someone you knew through a road accident?
Have you had financial loss due to road accidents, like the loss of your personal
effects, business, medical bills & vehicle damage or write-off? Are you sick and
tired of traffic police corruption & negligence making our roads more dangerous?
Do you feel so angry or helpless about the poor driving standards and reckless
driving you see among many motorcycles and public transport vehicles?
Do you manage a vehicle fleet and feel tired of handling accident claims, vehicle
repairs, and downtime caused by workers or employees? Have you been worried
that your son, daughter, sister, brother, cousin, nephew, or niece got a driving
license but barely has the skill to drive safely on the road?
If the answer is yes to any of the above, welcome to our mission. Our big hairy
audacious goal is to change the road safety challenge in Africa to a success story
by training over 250,000 road users including school students, pedestrians, riders,
and drivers.
Thank you for believing in our vision and giving us a chance. Welcome aboard this
quest to save lives, time & money for Africa!
Let’s do this.

REAL LIFE EXAMPLES
Firstly let us look at decisions that road
users have to make every day.
Firstly let us look at decisions that road
users have to make every day.
*It is evening in the city center and
raining heavily. Traffic is a mess and
public transport vehicles are hard to
come. Jane is trying to get home
because it is getting very late. Finally a
public transport van appears. It is a bit
rickety and the headlights look dim. But
Jane needs to get home to her family so
she jumps in quickly before it is full of
other passengers.
*Max loves riding his bicycle on
weekends. His job as an engineer
doesn't leave much time for this hobby.
But today is a free day so he puts on
his black cycling shorts, grey T-shirt and
blue helmets. He hits the road hoping to
cover at least 25 kilometers that day.
*Jim sells solar installations around the
country. He has pick up that carries some
of his merchandise which he displays to
his customers. Often he also carries other
goods on his way back since he knows he
can sell them in the city for a good price.
Mainly fruits and foodstuff. One day
while upcountry he finds potatoes going
at half the price in the city . He makes
some quick calculations and decides to
take several sacks. He may not remember
the last time he checked his tyre pressure
but the tyres look okay.
*Christine works for a marketing agency.
She is always in the middle of busy work
projects. Developing and implementing
adverts and promotions for her clients.
This involves many meetings and phone
calls. Sometimes the phone calls find her
on the road as she is moving from site to
site. She feels this is not a problem, as
she has a hands free phone kit in her car.
She will have phone calls when driving.
*Abdi drives imported vehicles from the
port city to the capital city for used car
dealers. He is paid per trip and has
been trying to do many trips this month
because of several outstanding bills. His
child's school fees is overdue and his
sick mother has medical bills. During the
day he will drive one vehicle for the
long trip from the port to the capital
city. In the evening he then takes a bus
or train back to the port, sleeping
during the night trip as he has another
vehicle delivery tomorrow.

*Gilbert is a school bus driver. One day he is
dropping a girl at a residential estate. The
estate is normally quiet at this hour as the
children are at school and adults are at
work. He stops next to her home and she
alights and enters the gate as usual. As the
girl is alighting, Gilbert does not notice a
small boy crawl out of the opposite gate
following a ball that has rolled just behind
the bus. The bus slowly starts to reverse
*Mary works in a factory located at the
industrial part of the city. To survive on her
low income, she treks every day from her
rented house to the factory and back. The
footpaths are not well designed, pedestrian
crossings don’t exist and the only footbridge
on her route is filled with hawkers during the
day and muggers at night. She has no choice
but to walk right on the edge of the road.
Jostling for space with vehicles, motorcycles,
handcarts, and other pedestrians.
*David is a motorcycle delivery rider. He has

calling
him
to
deliver
documents and items all around town.
Business is great and he is always hopping
from delivery point to another. In fact he will
usually attach his phone to his helmet so
that he will not miss a client calling.
*Two vehicles bump into each other in the
early morning rush hour traffic. The
drivers can't seem to agree how this will
be resolved and decided to wait for the
traffic police to show up. The two vehicles
have blocked part of the road into the
city. Other vehicles rushing by having to
maneuver around the two stationary
vehicles on the road.
*It is Christmas week and many travelers
are trying to get to their families,
upcountry homes or holiday destinations
to enjoy the festivities. Fares have gone
up dramatically. Some private vehicle are
stopping at bus stops and asking for any
passengers heading in the same direction.
Many people will jump in since a private
vehicle will charge less than high fare
being charged by the public transport
vehicles.
Many times such examples will end up
without a major incident or accident. But
as a road user, you only need to be wrong
ONCE - and it is game over. Each of the
many decisions you make in a day could
be the last one you ever make. That is not
to scare you, but sadly it is something we
have seen too often. That is the reason
for this book.

The Big Problem
Review these disturbing statistics from road accidents:
90% of road accidents are caused by human error.
10% of accidents are caused by external conditions.
43% of drivers overestimate their driving skills or lack of them.
1.3 million people are killed annually in road crashes worldwide, that is at
least 3,561 people dying daily, or 5 people every 2 minutes.
More than 90% of road traffic deaths occur in low- and middle-income
countries.
Road traffic injury death rates are highest in the African region. In highincome countries, people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds are more
likely to be involved in road traffic crashes.
Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death for children and
young adults aged 5-29 years.
73% of all road traffic deaths occur among young males aged below 25
years who are almost 3 times as likely to be killed in a road traffic crash
as young females.
Every year 20 - 50 million more people suffer non-fatal injuries.
The annual losses from road traffic crashes is about 3% of global GDP.

Most developed countries have thorough driver training and strict enforcement of
standards on the road. However, driving in Africa is generally assumed to be a right
and not a privilege. There is little regard for traffic rules, especially by public transport
vehicles. When you combine the factors of a growing human population and a growing
vehicle population, the situation is bound to get worse before it gets better.
This is the reason for the high number of fatality rates in Africa, despite having the
least number of vehicles compared to other continents. In most African countries the
traffic police top all corruption index reports and bribery for traffic offenses is
considered normal. Advanced driving institutions are too costly and are accessible
mainly to people in multinational and non-governmental organizations.

Pedestrians
These are people who use the road on foot including special vulnerable groups like
children, elderly people, people with disabilities & people who are physically or mentally
unwell. They have the highest fatality rates on the road due to the fact that they have
minimal protection in the event of an accident. They also rarely have opportunities for
formal training on road safety or traffic rules despite being an active road user group.
Riders
This includes both motorcycle and bicycle riders. This category comprises the secondhighest fatality rates on the road. Much as formal training is required of them, there is
almost zero compliance hence most riders just get on a motorcycle or bicycle and start
riding with barely any Highway code training.
Drivers
These are actually the biggest cause of death to other road user categories. The risk for
drivers to kill other people on the road is higher than for drivers themselves to get
killed. Normally drivers have access to better training opportunities and better
protection systems than all other road user categories.
Considering the specific risks concerning each of the above road user categories, we will
share the top 6 mistakes that each of them need to avoid to stay safe. These measures
are not exhaustive but they address the leading cause of injury and death for each
segment. They are quite easy to do but require discipline to do consistently as accidents
happen when least expected. One mistake or wrong decision is all it takes to end up in
a life-and-death situation. Many people didn’t get a second chance at life when the
situation arose, that doesn’t have to be you.

The Science
Allow us to briefly look at some scientific jargon before we proceed. One of the biggest
challenge to improving safety on the road is that road users don’t understand the
science behind it. The engineering science of how different types of roads are made.
The mechanical science of how different types of motor vehicles are made. The physical
science of how things move and stop. By far the most complex is the behavioral science
of how different human beings behave on the road.
Let us briefly dive into some scientific terms for clarity;
Roadway safety – the portion of overall highway safety that is determined by the
road’s physical features such as road design, signs, markings, operating conditions,
roadside objects (such as utility poles, signs, trees, guardrails), bridges and
intersections.
Risk homeostasis – the tendency to adjust our behavior to reach a level of risk we are
comfortable with. Highways which are engineered for maximum safety are prone to this.
Drivers will go slower on small roads or busy areas but feel okay speeding on a good
tarmac road with multiple lanes. Also the more accustomed you are to a road, the more
difficult it is for you to imagine disaster on it.
Dunning Kruger effect – a cognitive bias in which people with low ability at a task
overestimate their ability. For example, many road users think that because they have
never been injured or died while using the road, they must be very safe road users. They
are not aware of the many times where it was the actions of others that saved them.
Lake Wobegon effect – the human tendency to overestimate one’s achievements in
relation to others. For example, 93% of drivers believe they are better than the average
driver. This is not statistically possible, therefore 43% of them are actually
overestimating their driving skills.
Inattention blindness - the cognitive distraction of looking but not seeing. There are
many things that can distract the brain like noise, activities, emotional, psychological or
physiological state. The use of mobile phones even on hand free is the most common
and dangerous distraction. And with over 15 billion mobile devices globally for a
population of 7 billion, the danger is not going away soon.

Ambient speed – speed of a road user in relation to the speed of other road users
around them. Vehicles moving in the same direction should have relatively similar speed
to reduce risk of accidents. When some vehicles have a large speed gap in relation to
others, then the number of maneuvers by the faster vehicles rises. It is said the slower
drivers are the killers, the faster drivers are the dead ones.
Pareto principle – the disproportionate relationship between cause and effect, where
80% of any outcome is caused by only 20% of factors. For example there are many
causes of road accidents, but speeding is the culprit for majority of them. By speeding
we don’t mean going above a specific speed, but going above the safe speed required
for specific road conditions. One can be speeding at 60 kph if the conditions require a
30 kph speed, and another might not be speeding at 110 kph if conditions are safe up
to 120 kph.
Now let us dive into reviewing the 24 mistakes that cost the lives of so many
passengers, pedestrians, riders and drivers. The interesting thing is that most of these
are decisions that need to be made before one gets on the road, not when they are on
it. A casual approach to using the road is most dangerous thing that road users need to
watch out for. Avoid it and anyone who has such an attitude, you have only one life to
live.
Imagine all the agony that follows a single road fatality. Broken and grieving families.
Careers and education cut short. Dreams and hopes shattered. Funeral plans and
writing eulogies. Insurance claims and vehicles written off. Resources and productivity
lost. Life experiences and lessons gone forever. Inheritance squabbles and legal cases.
Widowers, widows and orphans.
So much heartache and headache, all because of the decisions that were made on the
road that day, one or a few of them was wrong. Here are the top mistakes to avoid.

6 Key Mistakes by
Passengers
1. Not Doing Your Research – the important decision as a passenger is firstly, Why do I
need to go where I am going? Which means and routes are available? How long will it
take? How much will it cost? What are the risks? The answers to these questions will
determine if you will take a motorbike taxi, a public bus, a public van, a taxi app,
carpooling or hiking a lift. The means with less risk or more convenience normally cost
more, so make sure the exchange is not with your own life.
2. Not Assessing The Vehicle & Driver – too often we jump on the available means
without checking the vehicle or driver. Does the vehicle look and sound okay? Does the
driver look tired, agitated, troubled or distracted? Say hi to them while making eye
contact, if possible casually find out how they are doing.
3. Not Speaking Up – studies have shown that driving behavior is improved when there
is a passenger in the car. However, when the passenger is passive like in many public
transport vehicles, their presence may not counter the aggressive culture of the driver.
Politely but firmly speaking up about the good driving style you want can save your life.
Better to alight from the vehicle and be late than to be dead before your time.
4. Not Belting Up – often passengers don’t fasten their safety belts. An unbelted
passenger around you is also a dangerous loose cannon. In the event of a crash, any
loose object inside the vehicle will still be moving at the previous vehicle's speed. The
unbelted passenger behind you becomes a flying missile that could knock you out and
kill you, even if you are belted.
5. Not Putting On Helmet – most motorcycle taxis don’t carry a second helmet for
passengers. And even when available most passengers don’t put it on because of risk of
skin disease or body parasites like lice. Despite these concerns, in the event of a crash,
a helmet prevents your head from hitting the road like a watermelon.
6. Not Seating Children Correctly – when traveling children are often left unsecured so
that they can play around. Sadly in the event of a crash, they might not survive the
impact of being thrown off. Children should first start with an infant seat, then a child
seat, then a booster seat until when they can use the normal adult seat comfortably.
Some cars have Isofix points between the rear vehicle seats, these lock the child seat
directly without the need to use the seat belt. Small children should never be in the
front row as the front airbag can kill instead of protecting them.

6 Key Mistakes by
Pedestrians
1. Not Checking Available Routes - the important decision as a pedestrian is firstly,
Why do I need to go where I am going? Which pedestrian routes are available? How
long will it take? What are the risks or hazards along the route? Are there some black
spots along the route, places where pedestrian accidents normally tend to happen?
Have there been injuries or deaths on that route recently or long ago? The answers to
these questions will determine your preparation and mindset.
2. Not Being Seen – the biggest risk for pedestrians is from drivers, some of whom
could be having inattention blindness (looking but not seeing) or night blindness. There
is a lethal combination where many drivers disregard pedestrians, who are also
assuming the driver is seeing them. Pedestrians need to have visible clothing and on
busy roads they need a reflective vest, it can save their life.
3. Not Walking Opposite Traffic – since the biggest risk for pedestrians is from drivers,
a pedestrian needs to walk on the side of the road opposite the vehicle traffic. This
helps them see vehicle movements clearly and take corrective action in case of an
emergency like a vehicle that is speeding, losing control, drifting, overlapping, evading
an obstruction etc
4. Not Looking For Driver’s Eye Contact – many pedestrians often assume the driver is
seeing them, remember the driver could be having inattention blindness or night
blindness. To avoid this deadly assumption, the pedestrian should check to see if the
driver is looking at them directly and if he responds to hand signals by flashing the
vehicle lights, hooting, nodding or waving.
5. Not Being Patient – often pedestrians get impatient when waiting to cross a busy
road. Sometimes they try running across the speeding vehicles or zigzagging through
traffic lanes. This is very dangerous as the drivers might not be seeing you or could
have very little time to react. Pedestrians must also never cross the road directly at
junctions, roundabouts, u-turns, acceleration or deceleration lanes where drivers are
engrossed with many other calculations.
6. Not Avoiding Distractions – considering that pedestrians are the most vulnerable
road users, they also need to be the most alert on the road. This means they should
avoid distractions like using mobile phones, listening to music, day dreaming or
meditating. Their shoes should also be very comfortable so that the mind and body are
at ease.

6 Key Mistakes by Riders
1. Not Being Seen – the biggest risk for riders is from drivers, some of whom could be
having inattention blindness or night blindness. Many drivers disregard riders as if they
don’t have full right to be on the road. Riders must have bright reflective clothing and
small front and rear visibility lights to enhance their safety. If the rider cannot be seen
clearly from far by other road users, their life is already in danger.
2. Not Being Heard – sometimes the rider will be coming from behind or the side of the
road where they are not in the line of sight of other road users. At this point being seen
is of little help, it is more important to be heard. A good horn is vitally important for
the rider to alert others of his or her presence in the midst of all other traffic noise &
activity. Especially if others are about to take action that could endanger the rider.
3. Not Using Hand Signals – riders are required to use hand signals to complement the
direction indicators. Hand signals can be seen and understood quickly even from a long
distance, unlike indicators which could be faulty, not visible from far or not available
for bicycles. Hand signals, therefore, reduce the chance of drivers making a wrong
move and endangering the rider.
4. Not Looking For Driver’s Eye Contact – many riders often assume the driver is
seeing them, remember the driver could be having inattention blindness or night
blindness. To avoid this fatal assumption, the rider should check to see if the driver is
looking at them directly and if he responds to hand signals by flashing his lights,
hooting, nodding, or waving.
5. Overtaking on the Wrong Side

the driver did not expect them to be there. This
riders to stay safe on the road.
6. Not Maintaining a Crash Avoidance Space – As mentioned before, motorcycle and
bicycle riders are known for weaving through traffic lanes. In fast-moving traffic or on a
two-way road, the space between the vehicle lanes becomes dangerously small. In the
event of an accident or incident, the rider falls right onto the path of a vehicle.
Similarly, when overtaking other vehicles, riders should avoid squeezing into very small
gaps because, in the vent of a slip-up, there will be no space for a vehicle to avoid
hitting or running over them.

6 Key Mistakes by Drivers
1. Not Doing Your Research – the important decision as a driver is firstly, Why do I
need to go where I am going? Which routes are available? How long will it take? How
much will it cost? What are the traffic patterns? What are the risks or hazards along
the route? Are there some black spots along the route, places where accidents normally
tend to happen? Have there been injuries or deaths on that route recently or long ago?
A casual approach to driving can have serious consequences.
2. Not Knowing Their Vehicle – it is shocking how many drivers have a vehicle which
they don’t know all functions. Would a pilot fly an aircraft if there was a single button
that he didn't know what it means? Many drivers are ignorant about some vehicle
functionality and this can prove deadly in the wrong situation. The dashboard panel
also communicates the vehicle condition to the driver. Green lights mean okay
condition, orange means be aware & red means don’t move the car.
3. Not Checking Their Own Condition – the driver should be able to review their own
physical, physiological, psychological & emotional state. Are they healthy, fit & wellrested? Are they in pain, discomfort, or hunger? What are their attitude and character
traits? Are they sad, happy, angry, or nervous? There are hundreds of factors to
consider, any of them affecting your driving could be the deadly one.
4. Not Being Seen – just like every other road user, the driver needs to ensure that their
vehicle is clearly visible from a distance. Studies show that vehicles with daytime or
parking lights on all the time have fewer accidents than those without. Some countries
have even made daytime lights mandatory because increased vehicle visibility greatly
reduces the danger of accidents to drivers and other road users as well.
5. Not Checking Tyres & Pressure – many drivers hardly check their tyre condition until
when they have a visible puncture. Do you know that tyres have an expiry date? Do you
know that a vehicle can be overloaded not just by having an excess load but also by
having less tyre pressure? An overloaded vehicle is harder to steer and has a longer
stopping distance. Not to mention the grave danger of a tyre blowout at high speed.
6. Not Managing Speed – the problem with speeding is the stopping distance it takes
to bring a moving car to a complete stop. This includes the time it takes the driver to
react to the hazard and the time it takes for the brakes to stop the car. The driver
should maintain an ambient speed gap to the vehicle in front that will cover the
stopping distance and avoid potential accidents.

Way Forward
SO, let me ask you some questions;
Do you drive often to make a living?
Do you regularly use personal or public vehicles to go to school, work or other
personal activities?
Do you know that one single road accident can change your life and those around
you forever?
How much is your life worth?
Do you know that for less than the cost of getting a driving license, you can access
training that can save your life and others on the road?
This is what the Defensive Driving E-Course by Advanced Mobility is all about. This
course is for drivers, riders, pedestrians, and passengers. If you fall into any of these
categories and you are above 18 years of age, you should take this course. However,
only licensed drivers will be allowed to drive during the practical session. Start learning
immediately at your convenience, get lifetime access to the course and book for the
practice when you are ready.

The road is a public stage on which the national values and standards are on display
for everyone to see. How can we expect merit and fairness to prevail in our family,
community and national institutions – when our public roads are the grand stage for
recklessness, indiscipline and corruption?
Is it a wonder that our youth are growing up to view the world through these dirty
lenses?
IMAGINE a world where all road users and relevant authorities uphold traffic rules for
the common good. Imagine a world where national values are upheld publicly for
children and visitors to see. Imagine a world where everyone is mindful about taking
personal responsibility. This kind of world is not just in our dreams, it is possible to start
working to change the culture in the main public theatre of everyone’s life – the road.
What kind of world do you want to build in Africa?
What kind of world do you want your children to grow up in?

Advanced Mobility
The Advanced Mobility Centre is a training center that delivers high-impact learning
for drivers & all road users by utilizing modern technology, accelerated learning
techniques, and advanced practice sessions. Learners gain high skill levels in driving &
decision making. We use the aviation model of training where learners systematically
grow from theory learning, simulator practice to vehicle practice sessions. Our big hairy
audacious goal is to train 250,000 road users in Africa in the next 15 years including
pedestrians, passengers, riders, and drivers.
Our chosen focus from the UN Sustainable Development Goals is goal no. 3 on Good
Health & Wellbeing, and goal no. 13 on Climate Action. Through these, we aim to
impact the following target groups. Our first target are primary & secondary school
students, this is the future generation that can change the national direction on a large
scale if they get the right skills early enough. They have receptive minds and can
influence each other positively. The second target are pedestrians as they have low
accident survival rates and comprise the highest number of fatalities. They are also an
ignored segment as pedestrians have no formal road safety training opportunities. The
third group we are focusing on are regular or full-time drivers. These have the longest
driving times as they drive for commercial reasons. They have a high accident
probability due to their demanding work, long hours & related lifestyles.
We are innovative and professional.
We are digital and visionary.
We care about the future of Africa.
