I suggested that he should call another organisation with the acronym "AA"..... That said, like me we always used to and still do glance over the shoulder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently that’s not a thing now though, kids are being taught to coast on the clutch, so what do I know? I’m also old enough to know that if you park your car in a dodgy area you remove the rotor arm. I have recently got my license and was always told not to coast on the clutch. However, there is very little standardisation with instructors and it's not the sort of thing they would fail you for on a test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car has it and it makes no odds. Many don’t know this. Like many don’t know how quite a few things operate within their vehicle. As for driving on the motorway, I always look over my shoulder regardless of which lane I’m going into. As someone above mentioned, I’ll assume everyone on the road is an idiot. Doing 25-30k miles a year, I’d put myself at higher risk so have to be extra vigilant to try and lower the consequence of a lapse on anyone’s behalf. Hear hear mate! I do 50k a year and some of the things you see beggar belief! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Step aside you lot and let the pro drivers speak ... Shoulder checking is a MUST, but only if you can quickly look away before she catches you ogling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wear sunglasses where you can't see your eyes through the lens - you can look for longer coming up to, and then when you're using your mirrors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can see you looking without you knowing they are looking at you looking Complicated, but fun. Blokes get all the blame, but women have wandering eyes just the same. They're just a little more sly about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vespa Red Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 As a scooter rider with one leg shield mirror, I always look over my shoulder when changing lanes. Nearly everything on road is faster than me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
