Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
In ordinary driving, about how far ahead should you try to search for changing conditions?
Correct answer: About 20 to 30 seconds ahead
Why
The handbook recommends searching about 20–30 seconds ahead when the view permits. Keep your eyes moving and also check the sides and rear. If traffic, terrain or a large vehicle limits the view, adjust speed and position rather than treating the time target as guaranteed visibility.
