Sudden braking or swerving in traffic indicates the driver is not what?

• A. Not searching far enough ahead
• B. Wearing sunglasses
• C. Using Turn signals
• D. Keeping a safe following distance

Answer: (A)

Looking far ahead to anticipate hazards is essential for smooth, safe driving. Sudden braking or swerving happens when you haven’t scanned far enough down the road to spot a risk early, like a car slowing, a lane change, a pedestrian stepping out, or a vehicle merging. With more advance notice, you can ease off the gas gradually, brake smoothly, or steer calmly to avoid overreacting. That’s why this behavior signals you’re not looking far enough ahead. Wearing sunglasses by itself isn’t the issue, using turn signals relates to indicating intent, and keeping a safe following distance actually helps you avoid sudden moves.
