It&#8217;s extremely effective. <br><br>On such a wide road, I&#8217;d want at least one vehicle to stop behind me\u2014ideally three. <br>The accident in that video turned out okay because it was just a compact car, but if it had been a trailer, it would have been an absolute nightmare. Imagination nurtures your sixth sense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Motorcycles are hard for cars to recognize because of their size. If you make your presence known so that other drivers are more aware of you, you might be able to prevent being hit in an accident that isn&#8217;t your fault. <br><br>I know it might feel like a hassle to do all this signaling and checking, but &#8220;if only I had checked then&#8230;&#8221; leads to a body like this. <br>What&#8217;s broken doesn&#8217;t go back to how it was. No amount of money can fix it. <br>Regardless of your position, if someone&#8217;s going to hit you, they will. As someone riding a motorcycle, you need to understand that only that kind of person will come at you like that. <br><br>I think every day that a hobby is only worth it when you&#8217;re healthy, safe, and having fun. \u03c6(..)Memo memo <br>Motorcycles are seriously dangerous. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When waiting at a red light, I never take my eyes off the rear-view mirror until at least one vehicle behind me has come to a complete stop.
