1.   Then an on-road study found that drivers did indeed recall more central details than would be expected from risky situations.

2.   The first is an overall tendency for subjects to recall risky situations.

3.   The second is a tendency for subjects to recall central details of risky situations at the expense of peripheral details.

4.   It is possible that there is quite genuinely some impairment of recall for the most risky situations, however, such risky events were simply extremely rare.

5.   In the previous study subjectively risky situations were more likely to be subsequently recalled than their less risky counterparts.

6.   It was suggested in discussing the results from the first study that subjects may have been deliberately attempting to recall just the risky situations.

7.   These situations may be characterised not by the actual risk felt in the situation but by the potential for risky situations to occur at the junction.
