OBSERVATION
The road environment is constantly changing and this requires high levels of observation and concentration. The key to good observation is scanning.
SCANNING
Scanning, is keeping your eyes moving, checking in one area for a couple of seconds, then moving your eyes to another area
When scanning look:
• In the distance.
• At the road surface.
• To your left and right.
• Regularly at your mirrors and instruments.
