Which option correctly represents SEE?

Which option correctly represents SEE?

• A. Search, Evaluate, Exit
• B. Search, evaluate, execute
• C. Scan, Evaluate, Execute
• D. See, Evaluate, Execute

Answer: (B)

SEE is a three-step approach you use while driving: Search, Evaluate, Execute. You start by searching the environment for potential hazards, openings, and other traffic—actively scanning your path, mirrors, and blind spots to gather information. Next you evaluate what you found: how risky is the situation, how much time and space do you have, and what action would keep you safe. Then you execute that action: slow or adjust speed, change position, or communicate your intentions, and then recheck to confirm you’ve cleared the approach and established a safe path. The wording chosen reflects that first step is active looking, not just seeing or merely scanning. Exit doesn’t fit because you aren’t leaving the scenario; you’re managing it. See isn’t the defined sequence in this framework, and while scan conveys similar activity, the standard terminology used here is Search.
