When you're riding down the highway or any road... how do you look behind you.

Do you use your mirrors, turn your head, both or what?

 

[Samurai_Jack]

I do both, I don't trust the mirrors enough.

 

[fatburg]

I use the mirrors just to see what's around me and if anyone is about to slam in my 6, I almost always give a quick glance back when changing lanes.

 

[bumblebee]

both...I try to keep the cagers from sneaking up behind me... :cursin:

 

[Earlzach]

Both. I bet I look back more with the head turn though. My mirror seems to vibrate and blurr.

 

[Als-Repsol]

In a group ride I always look back and use hand signals
as well as indicators when moving over getting ready to pass car in front of us

+1 I use the mirrors for the rear and look to the sides when changing lanes for the blind spot.

 

[jeeps84]

I use both. Its always surprising at what can slip up on you.

 

[NeonSpeedRT]

I use my mirrors to see who and what is directly behind me as i'm riding. When it comes to changing lanes, I always try and turn to look. My mirrors are pretty much only good for seeing whats directly behind me.

 

[snadamo]

I would be the slow guy and not really having to worry. However, I check my mirrors and look back before changing lanes, cage or bike.

 

[GSXR1000DJ]

I use the mirrors and turn my head to be sure no one is there. But at 120-150, there is normally no one back there. :lol: :lol:

 

[XtremeRacingDiva]

Mirrors on bikes are too small...when I am just looking to be aware of my environment I check my mirrors but when I turn or switch lanes I always look.

 

[R1up0n1]

I use both mirrors and look back. I have to agree also with DJ also at 120-150 theres usually no one back there, but I have been supprised a few time when I'm glad I did check because there had been quite a few times when a new CBR 1000, Gixxer 1000 or R1 comes from no where.

 

[DLIT]

Both...and that isn't an option on your poll yo.

 

[R1up0n1]

Both...and that isn't an option on your poll yo.

I selected both and it accepted it.

 

[DLIT]

I selected both and it accepted it.

Oh word.

 

[Gas Man]

Ya word to your mother! :lol:

 

[Guideon72]

I do both. It never ceases to amaze me how something the size of a Ford F-350 can magically hide in that tiny little bit of space between where your peripheral vision and your mirrors end....

Mirrors for the most part and head check when merging, etc. Mirrors just to track what is behind me but for the most part I am not going slow enough to worry about it..

Everybody needs to remember that when ridding or driving anything in traffic. Especially passing or ridding beside a tractor trailer.
