This term appears in an excerpt from a Belgian judicial record. The person in question received a conviction for 'voorzienbare hinderhis' and a brief driving ban.
A 1:1 translation here seems most inappropriate for the Canadian English target audience. Even if the proposed solution relates to a UK or US setting, then I can compare it against the local system to verify or identify the proper term. Prompt feedback appreciated.

foreseeable obstruction
'He shall, when adjusting the speed of his vehicle, pay constant regard to the circumstances, in particular the lie of the land, the state of the road, the condition and load of his vehicle, the weather conditions and the density of traffic, so as to be able to stop his vehicle within his range of forward vision and short of any foreseeable obstruction.'

'We also believe that the instances of inadvertent shut down can be
mitigated by other means, such as better control or switch location,
which will not inadvertently get in the way of the driver's wrist, arm,
bracelet, or other foreseeable obstruction and ask for comment on this
facet of vehicle design.' (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-12-12/html/2011-31441.h... )

"[datum] Politierechtbank [stad]
Voorzienbare hindernis X EUR of Yd VR"
Whereby 'd' = 'dagen' & 'VR' = 'vervangend rijverbod'. HTH.
synonyms: anticipate; expect; foreknow; divine; envision; plan
'Avoidable' is something different than 'voorzienbare'.
'avoidable' = 'vermijdbaar'
