Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
You are driving in city traffic. According to the Nebraska manual, how far ahead should you look so that you can spot hazards early?
Correct answer: At least 10 to 15 seconds ahead of your vehicle
Why
Scanning far ahead lets you see brake lights, signals, people and animals early, so you can slow down or change lanes smoothly instead of braking hard. Keep your eyes moving: look to both sides where cars, people or animals may cross, and check the traffic behind you at least every 10 seconds.
