    It is a well known fact while driving a motor vehicle.

    ” WHERE YOU LOOK IS WHERE YOU GO” !

    Keeping your eyes well in focus ahead on the road is very critical.

    There are many distractions including the wet oily roads ,your car radio,noisy passengers, inconsiderate third lane bike riders, aggressive race tract drivers, people in a hurry going no where, irresponsible pedestrians, and the frustrating commute.

    Being in control while showing “due care” a degree of courtesy if possible to other road users , pay strict attention to what you are doing,always use your flashers regardless, your reward is a safe uneventful journey.

    Here is another hint for safe driving, subconsciously describe your journey as you drive, you will be surprised as to what you see.
