has served me well, and I felt it is worth sharing
with anyone that hasn't heard of it.
The scanning part applies to what is going on
behind you as well as what is in front.
Don't want to be negative, but I always predict the worst

I'm constantly watching my mirrors not only in our carts, but also in our vehicle. Just tonight, a Honda Odyssey turned left onto Morse from 466A right in front of me. I locked the brakes and, by the grace of God, missed the Honda by less than a foot. There are a lot of IDIOT drivers here now.
