Let an agent explain driving as an activity, relay licensing, rules, safety and practices from transport and safety sources, describe parking, carpooling and off-roading as the registry aliases name them, present the topic of racial profiling of drivers with research attributed, and distinguish driving from riding, vehicle operation in general and motorsport.

Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain driving as an activity, relay licensing, rules, safety and practices from transport and safety sources, describe parking, carpooling and off-roading as the registry aliases name them, present the topic of racial profiling of drivers with research attributed, and distinguish driving from riding, vehicle operation in general and motorsport.

The controlled operation of a motor vehicle on roads, covering skills, rules and behaviours from parking practices such as roadside, on-kerb and half-on-kerb parking to carpooling, off-roading and the social experience of driving, including the documented pattern of racial profiling of Black drivers known as driving while black; driving is regulated by licensing and traffic law and is studied in safety research and social science.

What it is for: Operating motor vehicles on roads.

It can be explain the activity and rules; relay safety and practices; describe social aspects with attribution; distinguish related activities.

What it looks like

Not a visible object; a person operating a vehicle.

Physical character

licensed drivers, US: about 235 million

minimum driving age: 16-18 years - most countries

road deaths worldwide: about 1.19 million per year - WHO

How it is recognised

Operating a motor vehicle on roads

Parking practices, carpooling, off-roading, driving while black

Riding is being a passenger or cycling; vehicle operation includes aircraft and ships; motorsport is competition

What the second pass must settle

  • Should parking, carpooling and racial profiling of drivers be separate primary entries?
  • How should transport and social science sources be linked?
  • The registry entry has merged aliases naming parking practices and driving while black; should they be split off?
