What is it called when you scan under and around parked vehicles while driving quizlet

It's your responsibility as a defensive driver to look for anything that may affect your path of travel or obstruct your line of sight. As you scan the road, you can gather information more effectively by grouping similar items into four basic categories:

Traffic control devices, including signs, signals, and road markings
Features of the highway, including its structure, surface, and direction
Motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles
Vulnerable road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and animals
