    When looking ahead while driving, you should:

    • Stare at the middle of the road

    • Look directly in front of your car

    • Scan from side to side

    Correct Answer
    A. Scan from side to side
    Explanation
    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.

This is because it is important for the DMV to have a record of any accidents that result in injuries, as it helps them track and monitor road safety. This report helps in determining fault and insurance claims related to the accident. It also helps the DMV to identify any patterns or trends in accidents and take appropriate measures to improve road safety.

    When merging onto a freeway, it is important to match the speed of the traffic already on the freeway or at least be close to it. This allows for a smooth and safe merge, as merging at a significantly slower speed can disrupt the flow of traffic and potentially cause accidents. By merging at or near the same speed as the freeway traffic, you can seamlessly join the flow of vehicles and minimize the risk of collisions.

    Explanation
    When turning left from a one-way street onto another one-way street, it is recommended to start from the far left lane. This is because the far left lane is specifically designated for left turns, ensuring a smoother and safer maneuver. Starting from the center lane or any other lane may lead to confusion and potential conflicts with vehicles continuing straight or turning right. Therefore, choosing the far left lane is the most appropriate option for making a left turn in this scenario.

While stationary, it may be difficult to accurately position the mirrors for optimal visibility. Once you start driving, you can make small adjustments to ensure that you have the best possible view of the traffic behind and beside you. This helps to minimize blind spots and enhances overall safety while on the road.
