A basic search sequence that applies both on highways and in urban areas is:

A main purpose of using a structured search pattern (look up, reference down, sweep, fill the gap, check gates) is to:

When curving left on a highway, you should focus on:

At 100 km/h, 12 seconds ahead on the road is approximately where:

Developing good search patterns (looking up and referencing down) requires:

You should never permit yourself to drive in a situation where there are fewer than:

In urban areas, “looking up” means:

In urban driving, you should sweep your eyes to the sides:

You should check your mirrors often to see if:

Overall, to establish effective search patterns of up to 90 seconds ahead and a 12-second reference point, a driver must:

In urban areas, referencing down means:

When you cannot see clearly 12 seconds ahead in the city, you should:

A key benefit of steering where you look is that it helps prevent:

When filling in the gap on highways, you should especially check:

When you look up in urban areas, you gain information about:

Even a quick speed check typically takes about:

Filling in the gap in urban areas is needed more often than on highways because:

“Referencing down” on a highway means:

In general, the more often the situation changes around you on the highway, the more often you must:

On a straight highway, looking up may allow you to see as far as:

If you cannot control your rear and side gates in the city, you should at least:

One common mistake drivers make when first practising “look up / reference down” is:

When curving right on a highway, you should focus on:

“Sweeping highways with your eyes” means:

“Filling in the gap” on highways refers to:

The most important recurring elements in your highway search sequence are to:
