Some tips for Intersection Safety-

About This Item

This is a fine example of managing your priorities. As you enter an intersection, whether turning or proceeding through, you need to know what your hazards are and where they can come from. The highest priority is to check your left. Why left? The left is the highest priority because that is the lane of traffic you first cross and therefore would be the first to impact you. After the left you continue to check the intersection in a clockwise pattern. So next is the front because the vehicle coming toward you is a threat if it turns left in front of you. It is worthwhile to note the bulk (77%) of two-vehicle motorcycle crashes occur from impacts coming from this direction. Then you check to the right. If slowing or turning, you check behind you then back around to the left again. You check the left twice because in the time it takes to check all other directions, the situation has probably changed to the left.

Over two-thirds of car-motorcycle crashes are caused by drivers, not by motorcyclists. The driver either does not see the oncoming motorcyclist at all or does not see the motorcyclist in time to avoid a crash.

What has this to do with a polar bear ? Looks to me like a bean.

I forgot to write down the tracking-number, or the TB isn't in 'Flughafen Kloten - Hlw 06' (GC120HB) anymore...
