VIDEO SESSION “Outside the Box”

THE 5 KEYS ≈ Aim High in Steering ≈ Get the Big Picture ≈ Keep Your Eyes Moving ≈ Leave Yourself an Out ≈ Make Sure they See You

AIM HIGH IN STEERING ≈ Maintain 15-second eye lead time. ≈ Look around corners and turns. ≈ Evaluate distant objects for information and make proper decisions. Oncoming car has signal on. Red light ahead.

AIM HIGH IN STEERING ≈ Watch lights for “point of no return”

GET THE BIG PICTURE ≈ Adjust mirrors before driving. ≈ Avoid traveling behind large vehicles. ≈ Delay start on green lights. Beside vehicle is visible. Behind vehicle is visible.

GET THE BIG PICTURE ≈ Follow speed limits.

KEEP YOUR EYES MOVING ≈ Move eyes every 2-seconds. ≈ Scan mirrors every 5-8 seconds. ≈ Scan intersections before entering and railroads before crossing.

KEEP YOUR EYES MOVING ≈ Check mirrors and look over shoulder before changing lanes. ≈ Check rearview mirror before braking.

LEAVE YOURSELF AN OUT ≈ Maintain space cushion around vehicle. ≈ Avoid traveling in “clusters”. ≈ Travel in lane of least resistance. ≈ Leave 1 car length ahead when stopped.

LEAVE YOURSELF AN OUT ≈Maintain 4-second following distance. MPC’S Most Frequent Cause of Accident!!!

LEAVE YOURSELF AN OUT ≈ Time lane changes to maintain space cushion around vehicle. ≈ Change lanes well before necessary. ≈ Wait for signal and adequate distance before turning in front of oncoming traffic.
