Guidelines to Improve Your View
To improve your view, you should take care of the points mentioned below.
- Following too closely behind a vehicle can significantly reduce your view. You should pull back to allow a clear view ahead. Follow a two second rule and make sure you do not reach the same spot as the vehicle ahead of you in less than the time taken to say “One Thousand One and One Thousand Two”.
- In case of a sharp curve (where you cannot see the curve due to inadequate sight distance), you need to look at rows of trees or lamp posts along the road ahead. This will help you to understand the presence of a curve and take appropriate actions to negotiate the curve safely.
- Sometimes, you should not depend on vision alone. In haze or at a visually impaired intersection, lower down the window glass and listen for the sound of approaching vehicles.
- There are many other factors, such as weather conditions, road conditions, etc., which may affect your ability to anticipate the unexpected.
