Correct answer
Anticipate hazards and allow more margin to react.
It helps anticipate hazards, observe early and maintain space margins for reacting. It does not guarantee avoiding every crash. Looking far ahead must be combined with checking nearby areas, sides and mirrors; viewing distance depends on road and visibility. Anticipation can also avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking, which can also help save fuel.
