To "aim high" means to look far ahead when you drive. We do not look at our feet when we walk, we look ahead. Aiming high allows you to be able to analyze traffic situations. In city traffic, look at least one block ahead. On highways and expressways, look as far ahead as possible, for at least 2-3 seconds.

well if youre driving at high speed (80+) then you should look as far ahead as possible without losing focus on the road in front of you. If youre going normal driving speeds then about a quarter mile will do
No. You should be looking scanning everywhere for road signs, traffic ahead, and what people ahead of you are doing. and you should also watch around your car for things like cats or other animals that might try to run in front of you. at first when you start to drive you will probably look at the car ahead of you but the more you drive the more you will start to pay attention to everything going on
Look as far as possible to scan for any dangers, look too close, things move to fast, looking further ahead means things come slower
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.
