Answer 8

One of the best observation-related driving tips is to look as far down the road as you can see. Many a time I've noticed people's brake lights coming on 2 miles down the highway and could anticipate the emergency stop to stop smoothly and safely.  As a complete beginner, looking far down the road also helps you drive straight/follow the road. It's the same as dancing, if yo look at your feet you're gonna trip. If you look 2 feet in front of your car, you're goint to be all over the road. Learning to see both potholes on the ground in front of you and action 2 miles down the highway takes practice, but it's like looking through the close stuff, at the far stuff.

I also practice being aware what's around my car at all times.

If someone told me to close my eyes and tell them what the cars around mine are, and how close they are. These days I can almost 'feel' people in my blind spot, because I've already observed them before they've moved into it, and anticipated.

ITS CALLED THE ROAD BUDDY

Answer 10

Everything related to the road!

NOT the radio, cel phone, passengers, heat/AC, food, etc!

Answer 11

You have to be aware of your surroundings at all times. You need to know what is in front of the vehicle, what is beside the vehicle and what is behind you.

You want to constantly scan your mirrors, and keep your eyes moving.  Be aware of what is not only directly in front of you, but also what is up the road a bit. You need to watch for potential problems, such as cars entering the roadway and pedestrians ( especially children) who may dart out in front of you.

The best thing for you to do right now is to try to pay attention to the roads when you are a passenger in a vehicle. It is harder than it looks, but you will do well as long as you are careful!

Good Luck
