Thanks Stump for the driver training curriculum.  It is a good review for all of us.  Several of your bullet points state, "aim High".  Could you expand a bit on that technique. 
Thanks

 I wish I had taken better notes on how systems operated when I took delivery. The memory doesn't work as well as it use to

Don't argue with a fool, people watching might not be able to tell the difference.

What that means is to look farther ahead ,look out and see whats way out in front of you,Get the Big Picture. A lot of people just focus whats just past their hood ,You need to look higher up and farther out to be prepared.

To add to stumps reply, near vision 3to 5 seconds ahead, far vision 15 to 20 seconds ahead. You will be surprised at what you will see. Another good visual is when approaching a vehicle at a two way stop  take a quick look at the there front tires that will give you an idea if they are rolling forward and you cAn cover your brake in the event they pull out.

The way we talked about vision racing was "don't look at anything, see everything"
