How to avoid hitting potholes

Haven’t caught teens and adults for years. I’ve learned one of their biggest challenges is where to keep their eyes while driving. If your eyes are looking just over the nose or hood of the car, you don’t have much time to react to what enters your field of you.

If you move your eyes to the horizon, they expand your field of view, allowing you to see more, which gives you more time to react. I called us the cheat code for not hitting potholes.

If your eyes are up on the horizon, it only takes 1° of steering wheel changed to avoid the pothole. If you’re looking down over the hood, you have no time to avoid the pothole.
