[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 506687, member: 277"] Whenever possible I try to position myself so I can see the driver's eyes in the inside mirror [I]and[/I] outside mirror. If you can't see the driver's eyes, the driver most likely can't see you. When passing or even driving along and someone wants to pull out, make eye contact. When you make eye contact the driver that was going to pull out from a side street often backs down. In any case the drivers head and eyes give you insight(!) into their intentions. When riding back from EOM with TheAxeman, I don't know if he noticed how frequently cars would pull over to let me by. I would pull to the left of the lane until I could see the driver's eyes in the outside mirror then hit the mirror with a 'photon torpedo' -- my PIAAs and high beams at the same time. Even the people that didn't know I was there will see me, and they all seem to want to get out of the way. Passing is something that should be done with care but expeditiously too. [/QUOTE]
