On city streets, you should maintain a safe following distance (two seconds) from the car ahead of you. Keep a constant scan going for signs, traffic lights, pedestrians, bicycles, and anything else that might create an emergency situation. Look past the car ahead of you for obstacles and brake lights from the car in front of the one you're following.

White or yellow lights in front of a car are used to illuminate the road ahead for better visibility, while red lights at the back are used to signal other drivers that the vehicle is braking or stopping. This color differentiation helps drivers identify the direction in which a vehicle is traveling, reducing the risk of accidents.
You should use your low beams to avoid blinding the driver ahead as you lights reflect in his mirrors.
