[QUOTE="lonerider, post: 1188625, member: 17455"] If I'm riding in traffic that's so heavy that I can't maintain a comfortable distance between myself and the car ahead of me (in this situation cagers around here will dart into an opening that's barely sufficient if they think that lane is moving 1/2 mph faster than the lane they are leaving), I follow in one of the tracks of the car ahead of me as opposed to the center of the lane. If there is any debris (muffler, chunk of firewood, semi tire, etc.) in the center of the lane, I would be on it with no warning if I were centered in that lane. If I'm following in one of the tracks of the vehicle ahead of me and the debris is there, I'll have some warning when he swerves to avoid it. Any time I see another vehicle do something that doesn't seem logical to me, I'm on high alert until I figure out what's going on with them. [/QUOTE]
