When I'm riding, I think its important to control the space around me as much as is possible;
- I constantly scan my mirrors
- I carefully watch every vehicle entering an opposing U-Turn lane
- I look at every vehicle I'm gaining on and consider what they could do that might ruin my day
- I look at stationary vehicles on the left verge and assess their potential intentions
- In built-up areas, I ride with my thumb hovering between the horn button and the hi-beam switch, and quickly use either
- I will hold my ground if someone looks like they might overtake into my lane, especially to protect a rider behind me...
I think of it as riding with an aggressive awareness of impending danger and am proactive whenever possible.
How do YOU approach the issue of self-preservation? :?:
