Where Should You Look While Driving?
1 Answers
When ensuring the vehicle stays centered in the lane and road conditions are not overly complex, consciously focus your gaze farther ahead while using peripheral vision to monitor the three rearview mirrors, road surface, and the area above the front of the vehicle. Maintain a central visual field that scans the broader road conditions—far, near, front, back, left, right, up, and down. Below are key considerations for driving on the road: 1. Required Documents: When driving, you must carry a driver's license, vehicle registration, and the driver's ID card. 2. Important Notes: (1) Novice drivers should maintain a calm mindset. Beginners often feel nervous, which hinders normal driving. Under extreme stress, people are prone to making incorrect judgments, so it's crucial to adjust your mindset before hitting the road. (2) Strictly adhere to traffic laws. According to traffic authorities, over 80% of accidents result from violations. Following traffic rules is the most critical aspect for new drivers to minimize accident risks. (3) Master steering control. Beginners must grasp five fundamental principles: starting, stopping, turning, shifting gears, and braking. Apply these flexibly based on actual conditions. (4) Exercise caution when driving at night. Reduced visibility makes nighttime driving particularly daunting for novices. Maintain slower speeds and use low beams when streetlights are present. If no streetlights or oncoming vehicles are present, high beams may be used but must be switched to low beams when other vehicles approach. Always watch for pedestrians and obstacles. (5) Anticipatory judgment is vital. "Keep your eyes sharp and ears alert." This applies equally to both new and experienced drivers.
