A look at the road. Visibility.

View drivers on the road can be different. We are looking directly ahead, looking into the distance, looking from side to side in the rear view mirror to pedestrians from vehicles. And every glance driver has its own peculiarities. Average opinion over other security-related driving. And above all necessary to assess the state of the carriageway. At 40, 60, 80 mph the driver must watch the road, respectively, at 80, 120, 160 meters ahead. Here, what is worse - so already. That is, the palpable danger, the mind concentrated on one object. With increasing speed from 60 to 100 km / h "framework" view halved. In the suburban movement among the principal objects of the average view - opposing cars. They drivers spend up to 60 percent of the time, including long-range, and average view, but no longer - the average. The driver can enjoy the speed of oncoming car with good accuracy only for 200-300 meters. Large role played by time of day, year and color of the car. If they approach each other at a speed of 90 kph, the distance between them will decrease with every passing second. It turns out that a straight stretch of road 500 meters to meet the car is only 10 seconds of rapprochement to the point of passing. In city traffic the average view of the driver is most focused on pedestrians. Very dangerous people who turned out at the beginning of the transition road to the lower limit of the average view, that is, in 5 seconds. Reaction to danger should be slowing down, to give pedestrians time to cross. And he needs about 10 seconds. The driver must also take into account age, weather conditions, provide a pedestrian decides to go back. If all of this driver is not calculated - trouble is inevitable. In view of the passing zone of its application - a section of road the car drives over time, similar in duration to the time of the driver's reaction to danger, about 2 seconds. This view brings the information to which the driver reacts to almost unconsciously, that is just the most rapidly, such a reaction is characterized by a very short time. We are talking about the tasks that have to solve almost every second - to withstand a safe interval to lengthen the distance, remove the foot off the gas pedal to adjust speed without brakes. In short, when the near-sight is the management regime of the car or dealt with the tactical and technical tasks of the moment. Nature, unfortunately, has endowed man with a limited field of view. Car partially fills this gap, but not all drivers paid tribute to the fact that such an opportunity presented to them the rearview mirror. Just do not get too rely on the mirrors, there is also not viewed through these areas need more tags of the space, which are called blind zones. Enough to remember that they have the right and left. Therefore it is not useless to look back and over his shoulder, just mirrors do not cover all areas. It is not only more confidence, but also an additional signal to other drivers: I see you and take the necessary measures. Ability to use views involves not only ensuring the safety of driving, but also a kind of prevention "road hypnosis". Switching views activates the state of the driver and postpones the moment when ever poured lead, and his eyes look, but I hardly see it.
