Stay out of cagers' blind spots(the rear corner of their cars on both their left and right sides) as much as you can. Too many drivers today it seems, think just checking their mirrors is enough of a look in order for them to change lanes.(I guess new drivers aren't taught to turn their heads momentarily to check those blind spots anymore...kind'a like parallel parking being a "lost art" too, huh?!)
So if you live in a state where you are not allowed to "split lanes"(seems the only "enlightened" state when it comes to this VERY SAFE practice is California) and must ride "with the traffic", be sure that if you are stuck traveling at the same rate of speed as that cager next to you, that you can see that cager's EYES in their mirror or are at least slightly in front of their front doors, so that cellphone using/makeup applying/newspaper reading...ahem..."person" with the wheel(and your life) in their hands, is aware of your presence next to them.
This practice is actually safer(and a whole lot less annoying to your neighbors and LAW ENFORCEMENT) than those "loud pipes" that way too many dunderheads today THINK will "save their lives".
Cheers, Dwight (naw...I "ain't opinionated" AT ALL....why would you think THAT?!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
