Imagine you’re driving on a beautiful autumn evening. Suddenly, you notice a car ahead swerving slightly. You ease off the gas and give yourself some extra space. This small action can make a big difference. Anticipating danger is all about being in tune with your surroundings.
Stay present and focused. Distractions like your phone or the radio can take your attention away from the road. Keep your eyes on the road and be aware of what’s happening around you. Scan the road ahead, check your mirrors, and glance at your blind spots. This helps you spot potential hazards early.
Maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you. If they brake suddenly, you’ll have enough time to react. Use the “two-second rule” (or Cooper’s 5-second research-based rule) to ensure you have enough space. By staying alert and giving yourself room, you can avoid many dangerous situations.
