When scanning the roadway from a bus, how far ahead should the driver generally look?
Correct answer: C – 12 to 15 seconds
The Wyoming CDL manual recommends looking at least 12 to 15 seconds ahead. At highway speeds, that is approximately one-quarter mile. The driver should continue monitoring nearby conditions and shift attention between near and distant areas rather than staring at a single point far ahead.
