How far should a driver look ahead of the vehicle while driving?

  1. 8-10 seconds or 1/8 of a mile

  2. 12-15 seconds or 1/4 of a mile

  3. 18-20 seconds or 1/2 of a mile

  4. 25-30 seconds or 1 mile

The correct answer is: 12-15 seconds or 1/4 of a mile

A driver should typically look at least 12-15 seconds ahead of their vehicle while driving. This distance allows the driver to anticipate and respond to any upcoming hazards or changes in the road, such as turns, traffic signals, or obstacles. Option A (8-10 seconds) is too short and may not give the driver enough time to react, while Option C (18-20 seconds) and D (25-30 seconds) are unnecessarily long and could cause the driver to lose focus on what is immediately ahead. Therefore, Option B is the most reasonable and safest distance for a driver to look ahead while driving.
