FUNCTIONS

Observant and Anticipatory

Being aware of your surroundings and anticipating potential hazards is crucial. This includes looking ahead, assessing your surroundings, and anticipating the actions of other drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.

Staying Visible

Making sure other drivers can see you is important, especially when changing lanes or merging. Use your signals appropriately and maintain a safe distance.

Managing Distractions

Being aware of and minimizing distractions, like cell phones or loud music, is essential for safe driving.

Maintaining Safe Following Distance

Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you allows for sufficient time to react to sudden stops or changes in traffic. The 3-second rule is a common technique for gauging a safe following distance.

Controlling Speed

Adjusting your speed to road conditions and traffic is vital. Driving too slowly can also be a hazard, as it may surprise other drivers.
