It is not surprising that 'where to look', 'when to look' and 'how to look' are major issues in the instruction of novice drivers. It is concluded that 'understanding' visual behavior requires an exhaustive model of the cognitive and perceptual processes. This paper outlines a theory that explores the involvement of the visual system in driving. The theory is discussed on three levels of description: a taxonomy of the visual tasks, an algorithmic account for the tasks and an implementation of the algorithms in a simulation of the driver. It concludes with recommendations for the instruction of novice drivers.
