Instead of merely looking at what the car in front of you is doing, examine the road and check what the vehicles ahead of you are doing. This offers the opportunity to examine what traffic is doing ahead of you to expect to decelerate or go dead slow. One should also regularly scan the road and the environment around you. Overseeing the horizon and observing forward and to the right and left, and in the rearview mirror will provide you with the prospect for anticipating dangerous situations before they occur instead of just leaving you for a reaction to an incident.
