Bay Defensive Driver Safety - Get the Big Picture

Aiming high in steering will help you with habit #2 — Get the Big Picture.

Try to be aware of everything around you at all times.
Don’t just rely on your peripheral vision.
Try to practice looking at more than just the immediate pavement or vehicle in front of you.
Be aware of objects on the ground, in the background, all around — anything that might interfere with safe driving.

Getting the big picture helps you plan where to move your vehicle in case of trouble. It also helps you avoid trouble in the first place.
