What do the three steps of the "see-think-do" approach to driving mean?
- See = scan for hazards; think = decide which are most dangerous and choose the safest solution; do = perform the manoeuvres to stay safe — Correct answer
- See = check your mirrors; think = signal; do = change lanes
- See = read road signs; think = memorize them; do = obey the speed limit
- See = look at the dashboard; think = plan your route; do = start the engine
Explanation: See means scanning the road for hazards, think means deciding which hazards are most dangerous and choosing the safest solution, and do means carrying out the manoeuvres needed to stay safe.

What does it mean to avoid "overdriving your ability to see"?
- Always be able to stop within the distance you can see ahead — Correct answer
- Always drive at the maximum posted speed limit
- Keep your high beams on at all times so you can see farther
- Only look at the vehicle directly in front of you
Explanation: You should always be able to stop within the distance you can see ahead. If you drive so fast that you can't stop within your sight distance, you are overdriving your vision and could hit a hazard before you can react.

Explanation: To keep a complete picture of the driving scene, complete the whole cycle of looking ahead, scanning side to side and checking your mirrors every five to eight seconds.
