Can't recall ever seeing a public service announcement promoting motorcycle awareness to drivers here in California.

Ridiculous omission.

There was a very interesting science prog on TV last night. One of the items dealt with illusions and how we look at things. It seems we don't look in one place at a scene, but our eyes flicker all over the place and may not notice how things alter. They had someone look at an image on a screen and were able to see where his eyes were looking at any instant. They were able to remove things from the picture without him noticing. That is the technique that illusionists and magicians use. They removed a double decker bus and he didn't notice! Makes you think.

How true Richaard & even more so I guess.  Even in Canada sometimes when at a Red light they have asked people to count the SUVS on the oncomming traffic & then asked if they noticed the ape walking by them right in front of them & most have not noticed said ape.
 
This is probably a minor version of what is going on in England with our eyes flickering as they do.


Remember all the others on the road are crazy & out to kill you.
