Aim High in Steering • Find an Imaginary target. • Centers car in traffic lane. Safe path on turns. • “Find a safe path well ahead.”
Get the Big Picture • How wide and deep? What’s in it? • Keeps you away from billboards. Smooth stops and turns. • “Stay back and see it all.”
Keep Your Eyes Moving • Move eyes. Front: 2 seconds. Rear: 5-to-8 seconds. • Keeps you alive at intersections. Keeps eyes ahead of car. • “Scan — don’t stare.”
Leave Yourself an Out • Have an escape route. Take path of least resistance. • Space on all four sides, but always in front. • “Be prepared. Expect the unexpected.”
Make Sure They See You • Communicate in traffic — horn, lights, signals. • Establishes eye-to-eye contact. • “Don’t gamble. Use your horn, lights, and signals.”
