In the SIPDE process, which step comes immediately after Decide?

• A. Identify
• B. Execute
• C. Scan
• D. Predict

Answer: (B)

The SIPDE process guides you to handle hazards by acting in a deliberate, rapid sequence: scan the scene to gather information, identify what the hazards are, predict how they might affect your path, decide on the best course of action, and then execute that plan. The moment you decide on a safe action, you put it into action—this is the execute step. It involves applying the controls (braking, throttling, steering, or steering adjustments) to carry out the chosen maneuver and avoid the hazard. The steps before it are about gathering and evaluating information; the step after it would be to continue monitoring and adapting, but the immediate next action is to execute the decision you’ve made.
