At higher speeds, how far ahead should you look in terms of distance?

One block
0.25 mile
0.5 mile
1 mile

The correct answer is: 0.25 mile

At higher speeds, it is essential to look further ahead to anticipate potential hazards, traffic conditions, and changes in the road. Looking ahead at a distance of 0.25 mile enables drivers to react in a timely manner and make informed decisions without compromising safety. This distance allows drivers to scan for obstacles, potential turns, and changes in traffic patterns, particularly important in maintaining safety at speeds where stopping distances increase. While shorter distances can be adequate at lower speeds, incorporating a longer sight distance at higher speeds is critical for effective hazard recognition and response, ensuring that drivers have enough time to maneuver safely.
