Except he'd been to the proctologist.

 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.

In 1941 very few young Americans had or needed drivers licenses. This riding guide was given to troops in WWII to help train and remind them of riding basics.

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... :blum1:
