    Is that why fighter-planes attack out of the sun?

    "Gap acceptance test" where you would think drivers would err on the side of
    caution if they cannot judge an objects' travelling speed.
    I guess reference points ( stationary landmarks ) are harder to converge
    with a glaring object, if the object has a non-existant outline past the
    glare zone.
    Drivers *will* see a glaring bus than a glaring bike. If every driver
    understood us as a tomahawk missle, then their perception will change
    overnight.

    Human eye perception is one thing, brain computation and physical reaction
    is another. Delays in that chain, or incorrect input nearly always works
    against us.

    All too frequent we see the car that cut across us, continually moving
    across our path even after we've established eye contact and been staring at
    the driver for over three seconds. Funny that.

  4. But I do realise that understanding that requires a bit of thought and

    triangulation is the key

  9. Welcome to Harsh Week...
    You seem to be getting there (now you've just gotta lean that all bikes
    are worth $3.50 and a kick in the nuts, and that shaft drive bikes can't
    wheelie or counter steer)

    How do they carry enough fuel? And why doesn't it explode? Wouldn't the
    pilots be awfully old by they time they got here? and many other lame
    questions

    Brain freeze?

    What group would these drivers belong in? Prick of a job the statisticians
    must have trying to fit these ppl in a group.

    The white phone is for loading and unloading passengers only. There is
    no stopping in the red phone?
