Motorcycle Awareness for the Clueless – Lesson 8

Lesson 8: Don’t leave it all up to the mirrors

When changing lanes, a driver should never rely solely on side and rear view mirrors. A blind spot exists on every vehicle, big or small, and nothing short of a full glance over the shoulder can ensure a safe lane change. Even if you think your mirror positioning is so perfect it can detect everything, chances are you won’t be able to spot a motorcycle in your blind spot. So always be sure to take a quick look over the shoulder, hit the blinker, and change lanes safely!
