A five step approach to safe driving is abbreviated SIPDE. Which option correctly lists this acronym?

• A. ABCED
• B. SMITH
• C. SIPDE
• D. RACE

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is a structured way to stay safe while driving by constantly assessing and reacting to hazards. That structure is the SIPDE process: Scan the roadway and surroundings to gather information, Identify any potential hazards, Predict how those hazards could affect your path or speed, Decide on a safe course of action, and Execute that action. Using this five-step sequence helps you maintain awareness, determine the best response, and act promptly to avoid conflicts or crashes.

SIPDE directly represents these five steps, so the option that spells out SIPDE is the correct one. Other strings don’t correspond to this recognized driver-safety method, so they aren’t the right listing for the five-step approach.
