Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Defensive and preventive driving requires a proper visual scanning technique. To anticipate unforeseen events and have enough time and space to brake or maneuver—especially when in command of a heavy vehicle such as a bus—the driver must visually sweep the surroundings: look far ahead (adjusting the distance to the speed), monitor the sides and constantly and regularly check the rearview mirrors, turning the head slightly when appropriate to cover the blind spots. Merely looking straight ahead or paying no attention to the surroundings outside would make it impossible to notice vehicles merging, lane changes by other road users or pedestrians.
