Question 6246

To anticipate danger and make safe decisions, what must the driver do?

  1. Look only at the vehicles driving behind.
  2. Constantly observe what is happening on the road and in the surrounding area.
  3. Only look at the vehicle driving ahead.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Constantly observe what is happening on the road and in the surrounding area.

To anticipate a hazard, you need to see it coming, so keep watching the road and its surroundings. In the image, there is a yield sign ahead and a pedestrian and a cyclist on the right. Focusing only on one car would make you miss those clues.
