How to use this sim
First, watch the sim drive the maneuver correctly. Then tap Your turn and do it yourself — one step at a time with the action button, following the checklist below. Hit Restart to watch again anytime.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Following closer than three seconds — you won't have time to react.
- Tailgating to pressure a slower driver ahead.
- Not adding extra distance in rain, fog, or at night.
