Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
You are driving on a busy city street. To spot problems early, about how far ahead should you try to look along the road?
Correct answer: About 10 to 15 seconds ahead, or about one city block
Why
Looking well ahead lets you slow down or change lanes early instead of making sudden stops or last-minute lane changes. Check your mirrors often, but take your eyes off the road ahead only for an instant. As your speed increases, look even farther ahead.
