How many vision zones are there in driving?

I am about to take my road test for the first time in a few days, which is so exciting. I wanted to refresh my memory on something first, though. What are the zones around a car?

Congrats on getting ready to take your road test! You’ve spent countless hours studying the rules of the road, mastered the art of parallel parking, and now you’re ready to put your skills to the test.
There are six vision zones in driving. They include the following:
  1. Front
  2. Left front
  3. Right front
  4. Rear
  5. Left rear
  6. Right rear
To be a
safe and defensive driver
, you must remain aware of all six zones and be mindful of what other drivers may or may not do.
It may sound overwhelming at first but it doesn’t have to be, as both your side mirrors and rearview mirror are there to assist you!
Remember, whenever you’re behind the wheel of a car, it is your responsibility to:
  • Be vigilant when it comes to your surroundings
  • Keep a safe following distance between you and the vehicle in front of you
  • Remain alert at all times
