What does the SMITH System emphasize as a key principle of safe driving?

The SMITH System emphasizes "Aim high in driving" as a key principle of safe driving. This principle encourages drivers to look further down the road rather than just focusing on the area immediately in front of the vehicle. By doing so, drivers can better anticipate potential hazards, make informed decisions, and maintain a safe following distance.

This forward-looking approach helps in assessing the overall traffic situation, allowing for more effective planning and response to changes in the driving environment. By aiming high, drivers can identify obstacles earlier, adjust their speed and position accordingly, and enhance overall safety on the road.

Other strategies like minimizing distractions and using the horn do have their roles in safe driving but do not encapsulate the holistic and proactive approach offered by the SMITH System's emphasis on awareness and anticipation through aiming high.
