Automatic Lights – Have you got your lights on?
Looking but not seeing
How often do you get caught out and have to brake suddenly? How often do you have to react to the brake lights of the vehicle in front?
Next time you are driving try to look to the furthest point you can see ahead of you. Then use your eyes to scan and look for any potential dangers such as vehicles waiting to emerge from junctions, pedestrians, traffic lights and so on.
The further ahead you look the more opportunity you have to see potential danger and then to plan how you are going to manage the risks you have seen. Perhaps by slowing down or moving out. By becoming a proactive driver by scanning well ahead you are less likely to be caught out. But if you do not see danger how can you manage it?
