You will more easily spot a hazard ahead of you keep your eyes:

• A. Moving (scanning)
• B. Fixed
• C. Skimming
• D. Focusing on the road

Answer: (A)

To spot hazards ahead, keep your eyes in constant motion and actively scan the scene. Moving and scanning your eyes across the road lets you notice potential dangers—pedestrians stepping from between cars, vehicles changing lanes, or signals and signs that could affect your path—well before you reach them. If you fix your gaze or only skim briefly, you can miss dangers that aren’t directly in front of you yet, which reduces your reaction time. Focusing on the road is important, but it works best when combined with continuous scanning rather than a single fixed stare. So the best approach is moving and scanning your eyes.
