Which of the following is NOT true when looking ahead during highway driving?
  1. Drivers should look ahead 4-5 car lengths.
  2. Drivers should look ahead about 12-15 seconds.
  3. Drivers should look ahead about one city block.
  4. Drivers should look ahead about one-quarter of a mile.
  5. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: A - When driving on the highway, drivers should NOT look ahead by only 4-5 car lengths. This distance (60-75 feet) is not enough to give drivers the time they need to react should anything happen ahead of them. Drivers should try to look ahead by 12-15 seconds, which is equivalent to one city block, or ¼ mile. These distances allow drivers the time and distance they need to react should they have to.
