JAF Releases New Live-Action Hazard Prediction Training Videos to Prevent Accidents

The Japan Automobile Federation (JAF), a general incorporated association led by President Masahiro Sakaguchi, has released two new live-action videos for hazard prediction training and accident avoidance training on May 14, 2026 (Thursday) and June 17, 2026 (Wednesday). These videos, titled 'Intersection Edition' and 'Residential Area Edition,' are now available on JAF's official website and official YouTube channel as part of its traffic safety education initiatives.

■ Two New Videos: 'Intersection Edition' and 'Residential Area Edition'

Intersections and residential areas are driving environments with numerous potential hazards that require heightened attention.

These videos realistically recreate the hidden dangers present in such scenarios, aiming to prevent traffic accidents and violations.

Intersection Edition No.16

This scene depicts a vehicle attempting to go straight through an intersection.

With pedestrians ahead to the left and a curb mirror on the right, poor visibility and blind spots can lead to unexpected dangers.

Residential Area Edition No.7

This scene shows a vehicle navigating a residential street, attempting to pass parked cars.

Children riding bicycles are present nearby, but dangers may arise unexpectedly due to vehicle shadows and sudden changes in movement.

■ What is Hazard Prediction Training and Accident Avoidance Training?

This training is a widely used method in traffic safety education, designed to prevent traffic accidents by helping drivers anticipate potential hazards on the road and respond appropriately.

By safely experiencing hazardous situations through video, drivers can develop the ability to predict and react to risks.

In addition to these newly released videos, JAF offers a wide range of live-action hazard prediction and accident avoidance training videos covering various dangerous driving scenarios. Furthermore, JAF provides the '3-Minute Traffic Safety Training' program, which presents these videos in a quiz format, enabling continuous improvement in safety awareness through daily learning or corporate training programs.

JAF will continue to actively promote traffic safety initiatives across Japan, including the production and distribution of educational video content, to address traffic challenges nationwide.
