3. Why is it easy for a "stare" driver to miss traffic signs?

   • Because they don't look far ahead or move their eyes — Correct answer
   • Because signs are always hidden behind trees
   • Because they drive too slowly
   • Because signs change color at night

   Explanation: Looking far ahead and moving your eyes helps you see signs; a stare driver who fixes their gaze can easily miss them.
