An early start today for our ⁦@PsychologyNTU⁩ transport researchers trialling our latest Hazard Perception VR test for HGV drivers. Thanks to ⁦@Mitchells_of_M⁩ for their support in creating the test and for letting us trial it on their drivers before today’s shift.

Previous evidence has linked performance on this test of attention to driving safety, but this time we are interested in relating performance to whether or not you play computer games. Player? Non-player? All welcome! research.sc/participant/logi… Best accessed on PC/laptop/tablet.

We need your hazard perception skills! Try my student's new 25 min hazard perception test including clips recorded from real driving and CGI clips: research.sc/participant/logi… To have the best experience, try this on a computer rather than a phone.

Research has shown medical & behavioural benefits of mindfulness but what about in the context of road safety? Using our grant @TrentUni @ntuTRIP found that mindfulness training has a positive impact on safe driving. #Mindfulness #RoadSafety. Full report: roadsafetytrust.org.uk/repor…
Just attended a great talk by @HorswillMark. Really interesting to see the new online hazard perception training from UQ. Looks like it works!
