To avoid driving faster than the distance you can see ahead, you should use

Correct answer

  • the three-second sight distance rule.
  • the four-second sight distance rule.
  • the one-second sight distance rule.

Explanation

If you drive faster than the distance you can see ahead, you may not be able to stop in time to avoid a hazard ahead. To avoid this, follow the four-second sight distance rule to stop safely. Pick out a stationary object as far ahead as you can clearly see. Start counting ?one-one-thousand, two-one-thousand, three-one-thousand, four-one-thousand.? If you reach the object before you finish counting "four-one-thousand," you are driving too fast and need to slow down.
