Driving in a bubble

What does that mean - it’s about driving in a way where you are not carrying out the correct observations, or in plain English - not seeing what is around you.

The number of pupils that drive in their own bubble is quite scary, driving by only looking forward a short distance is dangerous. In order to pass your driving test but more importantly, to be a safe driver you need to continuously scan ahead, looking for dangers long before they become an issue. When you are on your next driving lesson, try looking as far down the road as you can see, to the left and to the right, then scan back towards your car taking in any problems that you may see. This way you will have a continuous assessment of any problems ahead and be able to deal with them in an effective manner.

To be a safe driving - you must burst your bubble!
