When looking ahead while driving, you should:
- A.
Stare at the middle of the road
- B.
Look directly in front of your car
- C.
Scan from side to side
Correct Answer
C. Scan from side to sideExplanation
When looking ahead while driving, it is important to scan from side to side. This means continuously shifting your gaze between different areas of the road, including the side mirrors and blind spots. By doing so, you can effectively monitor the surrounding traffic, anticipate potential hazards, and maintain situational awareness. Staring at the middle of the road or looking directly in front of your car can limit your field of vision and increase the chances of missing important information or dangers on the sides. Scanning from side to side allows for a broader view and helps ensure a safer driving experience.Rate this question:
