Which stage of planning and observation comes after 'Prioritise' according to Roadcraft?

In the context of the Roadcraft approach to driving, after the 'Prioritise' stage, the next logical step is to 'Decide what to do'. This stage involves analyzing the situation you've prioritized and formulating a specific plan of action based on the risks and opportunities that have been identified during the observation process.

At this point, drivers must determine the most appropriate maneuver or action to take, considering factors such as safety, legality, and courtesy to other road users. This decision-making step is crucial for effective hazard management and ensures that the driver maintains control over the vehicle while making informed choices.

Moving to other stages without this decision-making process could lead to unsafe driving practices, as immediate actions need to be rooted in thoughtful prior analysis rather than reactionary behavior. Following this, the driver will move into action, implementing their plan while still being observant of any changes in the environment around them.
