Continuing our blog on defensive driving, we'll look today at observing what's ahead, a crucial component in keeping yourself and others safe on the road.
A skilful driver will constantly watch and make sense of what's ahead.
Always drive at a speed that allows you to stop safely within the distance that you can see to be clear.
A good driver will use scanning observation and frequent use of mirrors to get a full picture of what's in front, behind and around him. He will act sensibly on this information.
Don't drive beyond the limits of your vision. If you can't see properly, wait until you can before proceeding. Approach cautiously until the situation becomes manageable.
If you use these techniques approaching bends and junctions you will avoid potential and actual accidents.
As always, be careful out there!
Thanks John.
