What is the goal of the 'E' phase in SIPDE?

The 'E' phase in SIPDE stands for "Execute," which focuses on the actions a driver takes in response to information recognized during the prior phases of the SIPDE process, including scanning, identifying, predicting, and deciding. The primary goal of the 'E' phase is to take the necessary actions to avoid potential hazards and prevent collisions. Successful execution involves making quick, informed decisions to maneuver the vehicle appropriately, whether that means braking, accelerating, or steering away from danger. By effectively executing these actions, a driver can ensure safety on the road.

In this context, the emphasis is primarily on avoiding collisions as a product of effective execution rather than merely slowing down for turns or improving acceleration, which may not directly relate to the overall goal of safety and hazard avoidance.
