Which sense is the absolute most important for a driver?

Question

Accepted Answer

Vision – about 90% of the information in traffic you get through your eyes

Hearing – it is crucial to hear the traffic around you

Sense of balance – it helps you determine the vehicle's movements

Explanation

Vision dominates when you drive – most information (signs, other road users, road alignment, etc.) you get visually. Hearing is also helpful (e.g. sirens), but you can drive even if you cannot hear. The sense of balance plays a minor role in driving.
