Creating a buffer gives you more time to react."

"Back protectors and kidney belts can reduce your injuries significantly in the event of a crash."

Scanning means you are constantly looking for potential hazards, keeping your eyes moving and checking all areas. You will be looking in the distance, at the road surface, to your left and right, and regularly at your mirrors and instruments"
