Don't take your bike to the dentist. ,,,,  Ditto for eye appointments, I can't see shit after my eyes are dilated.

Didn't Dean have something similar happen?

 Head Checks.

Whenever I am planning on changing lanes or swerving in any way, I turn my head and make sure it is clear.

Way too often there is a car where I expected the lane to be empty, and I have to quickly readjust. I blame this on the "I wasn't going slow and I'm going to put down my phone and prove it" syndrome.

When I put on my turn signal on I check by looking behind me in the direction I am turning. After years of making sure I check, I sometimes laugh because I can go ten miles on the road lost in my thoughts with no memories of what just happened and I am looking behind me wondering where all the cars came from.

Don't forget to wear all your gear, if you don't have enough then you can wear your military uniform, your hat works as well as any helmet will...

Use your mirrors and try not to get in the way.
