At highway speed, roughly how far ahead should your visual search extend to spot developing hazards in time?
Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 166 (General Knowledge): Far enough ahead that you have time to react before reaching whatever you're looking at, well beyond just the vehicle in front
Why
At higher speeds you cover ground faster, so your eyes need to be looking well down the road, not just at the vehicle ahead, to have enough time to react to something developing.
