Targeting encourages drivers to scan far ahead and a. focus their visual attention on the next point on the road b. check the road behind the vehicle c. reach their destination faster d. do not look to the sides

A. focus their visual attention on the next point on the road.  A driver must have a target, it can be the car in front, a building pr a structure on the road.  Targeting enables the driver to look further ahead on the road and thus be ready for any obstacle on the road.

The answer is (A) Focus their visual attention on the next point on the road.

A fixed object located 12 to 20 seconds ahead of your car on the road should be considered as your visual target. It can be anything from a traffic signal, the crest of a hill, a parked car, or a traffic signal. Your visual target should always be ahead of you on the road and should be at the center of your field of vision. Once a target has been established, a driver should be able to set effective reference points, identify alternative paths, anticipate a number of traffic situations ahead, and notice the presence and changes of traffic flow.
