A lot happens at once in the city: pedestrians, traffic lights, delivery vans, doors opening. If you only stare straight ahead, you'll miss the danger from the side.
The city scan
- Read junctions: Before every junction, look left, right and ahead again.
- Watch parked cars: Look out for heads in parked cars – a door could open.
- Include your mirrors: A quick glance in the mirror before every braking and lane change.
