[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1188597, member: 27852"] I thought I would give this idea a try. The concept is simple: In [U]3 sentences or less[/U], share with us any riding tip you have acquired in your experience that you feel makes your ride safer and/or more comfortable. It doesn't matter where you learned it (MSF, premonition, Aunt Jenny, whatever). If this thread takes off, it could turn into a "tip of the day" thing, giving all of us something to learn (or re-learn) that might help us. With the knowledge on this forum, I imagine we will all eventually take something away. I'll kick it off: When I am riding in heavy traffic, and the upcoming stale green signal turns yellow, I over brake heading into the intersection while staring in my mirror. I'm looking for a pronounced dip in the front end of the vehicle behind me to ensure that he/she has seen me and is slowing down. If no such dip is identified, I've got a little more road in front of me to stretch the stop out, and I can always start waiving my left arm and pump my brake light at 'em. [/QUOTE]
