Answer: A. predict what might happen and plan your moves
A good way to keep focused on your driving is to predict what might happen and plan your moves.
Why this is the answer
The handbook tells drivers to watch the cues around them — signs, signals and road markings — and to predict what other road users might do. Careful observation of the driving scene lets you anticipate what could happen, and that leaves you ready to respond. It also says you need to focus on the task of driving and make good driving decisions. Scanning ahead and thinking about what may develop keeps your attention on the road instead of letting it drift.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. drive with your lights on — Turning your lights on is a visibility step, not a method the handbook gives for keeping your attention on the driving task.
- C. change your tapes or CDs often — Fiddling with tapes or CDs takes your hands and eyes off the road and pulls your focus away from driving.
- D. look for interesting things along the road — Looking for interesting things along the road splits your attention from the traffic scene you need to be watching.
Remember it
Think of yourself as reading the road ahead: spot the cues, guess what others may do, and have your next move ready.
