Keep your eyes moving
One of the basic tenets of driver safety education is to “keep your eyes moving.”
This means a couple of things. First, as we drive it is important that we are continually looking ahead,
to our sides and to our rear. The beauty and the beast of driving is that the playing field is
forever changing, especially when driving in a congested urban environment. The eyes and mind
must be attentive to the ubiquitous changes in traffic (of all kinds), road markings/conditions and signals.
Add to this the tendency of drivers to subtly steer in the direction we gaze. It is for these reasons
we should not let our eyes rest on any one place longer than 2 seconds. It simply is too dangerous.
