Q

Procedures and practice for visual habit 1 (focus well ahead on center of path)

A

-Focus vision down middle of lane selected
-With marked lanes, look to left outside mirrors and along left front fender to see how far from line car is

- do not allow vision to get fixed on center of path
-practice 12 second visual lead time
-when turning, aim high for center of intended path and look through turn
- line car up with middle of imaginary pathway the width of the car when parallel parking
- use markings and other objects/cars as reference points only
- focus on using more fringe vision when focusing down center of path
- look beyond headlights at night

Q

Procedures and practices to integrate the three visual habits

A

– When scanning the traffic scene search for elements related to each classification
-for each class of elements, seek an answer to the four questions: what is it? Where is it? What is its condition? What is it doing?
– Build up a store of information about what to look for or expect for each class of elements
-use commentary driving to identify verbally significant events and cues observed
– Make a list of all significant highway traffic system events for: they given intersection, a city block, a given segment of rule Highway
