Avoid the distraction of shoulder checks.

Turn on the radio to listen to local traffic reports.

Keep your gaze on the road ahead.

Scan ahead and around regularly.

Make sure you know what’s coming up by scanning at least 12 seconds ahead. This means looking one to two blocks ahead in city driving and half a kilometer ahead on the highway. This will give you time to prepare for a potential hazard instead of being taken by surprise. Keep your eyes moving. As you look ahead, also scan to the left and right so you can see what’s happening along the sides of the road.
