(Film is Warped) DO NOT USE -- This film is based on the second principle of the Smith System of No-Accident Driving. The film discusses the dual nature of vision or seeing: clear central eyesight and peripheral or fringe vision and points out the need to develop the Big Picture by continually moving the eyes so that the central vision roves into the fringe areas. This is essential in driving to allow space to maneuver defensively. Very similar (and alludes to) "Keep Your Eyes Moving" which follows it in the Expert Driving series. Very good film footage of mid-1960s traffic (Chicago skyline and neighborhoods/suburbs, including Evanston) and highway traffic. Alludes to the outdated safe-distance formula: one car length for every ten miles per hour of speed. Originally ON PREVIEW CASSETTE #210812
