What is a good practice while driving?

  1. Looking at your speedometer constantly

  2. Keeping your eyes fixed on the road ahead only

  3. Keeping from looking at one thing for more than a few seconds

  4. Driving while holding a conversation

The correct answer is: Keeping from looking at one thing for more than a few seconds

Maintaining a safe driving practice involves being aware of the environment around you while focusing on the road. Keeping from looking at one thing for more than a few seconds allows drivers to stay alert and aware of any changes in their surroundings. This practice helps prevent tunnel vision, where a driver becomes fixated on a single point, possibly missing critical information such as pedestrians crossing the street, other vehicles changing lanes, or traffic signals. When driving, a driver’s attention should be continually shifting to evaluate the road conditions, monitor surrounding traffic, and respond to any potential hazards. This dynamic awareness is essential for safe driving and aids in making quick decisions if necessary. By not focusing too long on one particular aspect—for example, the speedometer or a billboard—drivers can maintain better overall situational awareness.
