Interacting With Other Users. Most collisions occur when two or more objects try to occupy the same space at the same time. Drivers must identify movement.

The information people use to make those decisions is drawn from an area of awareness that moves with them as they travel. We call this area the driver’s.

Smith System Drive Different

Reaction/Pre-Action Zone The space in which you see and react to the traffic variables that surround you. Pre-Action Zone The expanded area of awareness that allows you to see, anticipate and act on information well before average drivers can do so.

Aim High in Steering KEY #1: Reaction Zone Pre-Action Zone Eyes lead the vehicle properly. Sees and evaluates relevant information from among distant objects. Adjusts eye lead distance to speed. Keeps vehicle rolling by adjusting for conditions Eyes properly elevated around turns and corners.

Get the Big Picture KEY #2: Reaction Zone Following distances consistently appropriate for conditions. Makes and executes decisions early. Avoids being unnecessarily boxed in. Speed is neither too fast nor too slow for conditions. Uses knowledge to make driving smoother and more economical.

Keep Your Eyes Moving KEY #3: Reaction Zone Pre-Action Zone Scans mirrors frequently. Scans major and minor intersections before entry. Moves eyes at least every two seconds. Checks mirrors prior to slowing or stopping the vehicle. Avoids staring while evaluating relevant objects.

Leave Yourself an Out KEY #4: Reaction Zone Maintains proper space around the vehicle. Adjusts space to avoid unsafe intrusion by other drivers. When stopped, leaves appropriate space in front of vehicle. Consistently selects lanes to minimize danger and maximize space & visibility. Keeps up to date with current size and shape of space cushion.

Make Sure They See You KEY #5: Reaction Zone Seeks eye contact and communicates when conditions suggest the need. Effectively times use of the turn indicators. Appropriate speed and communications when changing lanes. Brakes early to activate break lights. Vehicle positioning promotes seeing and being seen.
