An indication that you are not looking far enough ahead while driving is if you frequently find yourself reacting to sudden changes in traffic, such as brake lights or obstacles, rather than anticipating them. Additionally, if you often miss signs or signals that are approaching, or if you have to make abrupt lane changes to avoid potential hazards, it suggests that your focus is too close to your vehicle. Staying aware of the road several car lengths ahead is crucial for safe and proactive driving.

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

To determine if you are not looking far enough ahead while driving, pay attention to your reaction time and the distance at which you spot potential hazards. If you frequently find yourself reacting too late to obstacles or changes in traffic, it may indicate that your focus is too close to the vehicle. Additionally, check if you often miss traffic signs or signals that are further down the road. Regularly scanning the road ahead, at least 10-15 seconds in front of your vehicle, can help you stay aware and anticipate any necessary actions.
If you are frequently having to apply the brakes then you are not looking far ahead enough see what is happening down the road. As a former professional driver I always look down the road a quarter mile ahead ... driving a 20 ton bus makes one think well in advance in traffic as contrary to popular belief vehicles with air brakes do not stop on a dime.Allow one car length for each 10 miles per hour of speed between you and the car in front of you. Tailgating the car in front of you will not get you to your destination any faster and will only aggravate the driver in front who will most likely drive slower. If you have to hurry to get "there" then going "there" isn't worth it in the first place.
Put on your hazard blinker lights so that oncoming traffic will be looking for a dangerous situation ahead and will drive more carefully.

Depending what speed you are going, but the general rule of thumb is to look ahead about 10 seconds. so as you are driving look for a fixed object and count to 10 if you reach it before 10 seconds look at something further away and if it take longer than 10 seconds look closer. but you should not always do this as you might wreck if you are not looking at the road. so just try to get a basic idea and stay at safe distances.
