 Posted: 14:57 - 27 Nov 2012 Post subject: Another Reminder - NEVER forget lifesavers |
 |
|
I joined the M55 yesterday and sped up to 70 in the first lane. Checked my mirror, nobody there, but instead of starting to turn and doing a lifesaver, I did a lifesaver FIRST. Right there, in the blind spot, someone was watching me waiting for me making a move. I'm glad I didn't pull out, for the cager for being alert and ready.
I remember thinking to myself "wow, doesn't happen often, but I better never forget to do it".
So 30 seconds later I was about to move into the third lane. Right mirror check; nobody there. Shoulder check; lo and behold, another car had just appeared out of nowhere, and I would've been squashed had I moved over.
So basically, this is just another friendly reminder to NEVER forget your lifesavers, even if you think, because of your experience, that nobody came up behind you because you were checking your mirrors regularly.

The danger in this situation is that susan boyle or gordon brown could have been in that car and you would have had a heart attack and died anyway. ____________________ I am usually naked when posting to this forum. |
