What you learn during the risk education

The risk training is an important part of the journey to your driving licence and helps you become a safer driver. The training consists of two parts, Risk 1 and Risk 2, which together give you a better understanding of the risks that can arise in traffic.

What you learn during the Risk Awareness training

The Riskettan is a theoretical course that focuses on human behaviour in traffic and the factors that affect driving ability.

During the training, you will learn more about, among other things:

  • Alcohol and how even small amounts can affect judgment, reaction time, and risk assessment.

  • Drugs and medicines that can impair driving ability and create dangerous situations in traffic.

  • Tiredness behind the wheel and why a tired driver can pose the same risk as a driver under the influence.

  • Distractions such as mobile phones, navigation systems and other things that take focus away from driving.

The aim of Riskettan is to give you a better understanding of how various risk factors affect both yourself and other road users.

What's happening on Risk Two

The risk-two, often called the skid course, is the practical part of risk education. Here you will experience and understand how the car behaves in different traffic situations and under varying road conditions.

With Risktvåan, you will train on, among other things:

  • How the car reacts in slippery conditions and with reduced road grip.

  • How braking distance is affected by speed, road conditions, and reaction time.

  • How higher speeds reduce the likelihood of avoiding accidents.

  • The importance of safety margins and adapting driving to prevailing conditions.

The purpose is not to test your driving skills, but to give you insight into how risks arise and how you can prevent them in real traffic.

Common mistakes students make

To make your path to a driving licence smoother, some common mistakes are good to avoid.

Waiting too long to book
Many people wait until their theory test or practical driving test approaches. During certain periods, courses can become fully booked, risking delays in the process of obtaining a driving licence.

Doing the Risk Two too early
The 'risk two' gives the greatest value when you have progressed a bit in your driving training and feel confident behind the wheel. Then you can absorb the exercises in the best possible way.

To underestimate the theory
Risk training isn't just about practical driving. Knowledge about risks, traffic behaviour, and safety is an important part of becoming a confident and responsible driver.
