Which formula encourages operators to recognize hazards, understand defenses, and act correctly in time?

The 3-second rule
The Accident Prevention Formula
The Defensive Driving Formula
The Safety Awareness Formula

The correct answer is: The Accident Prevention Formula

The Accident Prevention Formula is the correct choice because it specifically focuses on a comprehensive approach to hazard recognition, understanding necessary defenses, and ensuring timely actions to prevent accidents. This formula emphasizes the importance of being aware of one’s surroundings, assessing potential risks, and implementing strategies to mitigate those risks before they lead to incidents. The other options, while related to safety and driving practices, do not encompass the same breadth of focus. The 3-second rule is primarily concerned with maintaining a safe following distance to reduce the likelihood of collisions, which is an important aspect of driving but is more limited in scope. The Defensive Driving Formula emphasizes safe driving behaviors to avoid accidents but does not specifically target the proactive recognition of hazards like the Accident Prevention Formula does. The Safety Awareness Formula may relate to general safety practices but lacks the structured approach to preventing accidents found in the Accident Prevention Formula.
