ACCURATE DR ED EMPHASIZES: Let your mind drive the vehicle! Let your eyes Scan and search for everything that is moving into or toward your PATH OF TRAVEL! This requires Thought control, Visual attention and Mental discipline! All are learned. Keep in mind that proper practice makes perfect; plus lack of practice or poor practice makes permanent!

It is important to use proper foot acceleration skills for control. This only happens when the eyes aim high on the intended path of travel! Once one completes the turn and on one's path of travel the eyes must move to check REAR VIEW MIRROR. One must develop this eye check EVERY time one changes speed or direction. This teaches environmental awareness skills for maximum control. PRACTICE THESE SKILLS!!
