UPS 5's and 10's"AIM HIGH IN STEERING." - Imaginary target - baseball/dart
board Centers car in traffic lane: Safe path on turns.
"FIND A SAFE PATH WELL AHEAD"
"GET THE BIG PICTURE." - How wide and deep? What's in it? Objects and
ground. Keeps you away from billboards. Smooth stops and turns. Buys
time.
"STAY BACK AND SEE IT ALL"
"KEEP YOUR EYES MOVING." - Move eyes: Front - 2 seconds. Rear - 5
to 8 seconds.
Keeps you alive at intersections. Keeps eyes ahead
of car. "SCAN - DON'T STARE"
"LEAVE YOURSELF AN OUT." - Have escape route. Take path of least
resistance. Space on all four sides, but always in front.
"BE PREPARED. EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED"
"MAKE SURE THEY SEE YOU." - Communicate in traffic - horn, lights,
signals. Establishes eye to eye contact.
"DON'T GAMBLE. USE YOUR HORN, LIGHTS, AND SIGNALS"
STARTING UP AT INTERSECTION - Look left, right and left. Check rear view
mirrors.
WHEN STOPPED IN TRAFFIC - When stopped in traffic, a car length of space
is required from the vehicle ahead. This will allow enough space to pull your
car around the vehicle ahead if it should stall and will give you an instant
cushion if it should make a turn.
COUNT ONE-TWO-THREE AFTER VEHICLE AHEAD HAS STARTED TO MOVE -
This step is to be followed when stopped at an intersection behind another
vehicle. Check rear view mirrors.
FOUR TO SIX SECONDS FOLLOWING TIME FOR SPEEDS UNDER 30 MPH, 6-8
SECONDS FOR SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH - This is to keep you from getting a
fixation on the car ahead and to allow time to obtain and hold the proper
eye-lead time.
EIGHT TO TWELVE SECONDS EYE LEAD-TIME - This is the best way to keep
your eyes ahead of your wheels and is the depth at which your eyes should
be focused most of the time.
