10 point commentary
1.
starting up at intersection - look left, right, and left
2.
when stopped in traffic- when stopped in traffic, a car length of space is required
from the vehicle ahead. this will allow enough space to pull your car around the
vehicle ahead if it should stall and will give you an instant cushion if it should make a
turn.
3.
count 1-2-3 after vehicle ahead has started to move- this step is to be followed
when stopped at an intersection behind another vehicle
4.
4-6 seconds following time for speeds under 30 mph 6-8 seconds for speeds over
30 mph- this is to keep you from getting a fixation on the car ahead and to allow time
to obtain and hold the proper eye-lead time.
5.
8-15 seconds eyes-lead time- this is the best way to keep your eyes ahead of your
wheels and is the depth at which your eyes should be focused most of the time
6.
scan steering wheels- look and see whether or not cars at the curb are occupied.
this is the only time they are a threat. if they are occupied the driver is probably
about to exit from the car or pull out from the curb
7.
stale green lights- the point of decision is an imaginary line that you set up
between your vehicle and the crosswalk when you are approaching an intersection
with a stale green light. since you are not sure of the light, you must be sure of the
point behind which you will stop if the light should start to change. this helps you get
the big picture.
