  1. What is The Smith System?

  2. The Smith System is a system of driving guidelines designed to help you drive safely and defensively. These guidelines include the following:

  3. Aim high and look ahead • Look well ahead of your vehicle as you drive. As a general rule, try to look 20-30 seconds ahead.

  4. Keep your eyes moving • Search the scene constantly. Stay alert for changes on or near the roadway that might require you to adjust the speed or position of your vehicle.

  5. Get the big picture • Search the whole scene not just part of it.

  6. Make sure others see you • You must communicate with drivers and pedestrians. This can be done with blinkers, brake lights, hand signals, etc.

  7. Leave yourself a way out • Always leave yourself a path of escape-a way to avoid a collision.
