What part of our vision should we use for targeting while driving?

Central vision is the correct choice for targeting while driving because it allows you to focus directly on the area where you are steering. This part of vision enables you to see details with clarity, such as road signs, lane markings, the behavior of surrounding vehicles, and pedestrians directly ahead of you. Utilizing central vision helps in making quick decisions based on the immediate environment, ensuring that you can react appropriately to any changes or obstacles in your path.

While peripheral vision plays a role in monitoring activity outside of your direct line of sight, it is less effective for targeting as it does not provide the same level of detail. Side vision is similar, emphasizing more on lateral observation rather than focus ahead. Night vision refers to the ability to see in low-light conditions, which is also not specifically designed for targeting in driving situations. Therefore, central vision is essential for safe and effective driving, helping maintain awareness of your position on the road and the actions of others around you.
