    This could well be where the expression 'sorry mate I didn't see you' has come from!

    Try the link below..................

    Motion Induced Blindness

    This is frightening! It works exactly like it says, and is one major reason people in cars can look right at you when you're on a motorcycle or bicycle---AND NOT SEE YOU.

    That is very creepy! Just shows that "I didn't see you" isn't always just an excuse!

    Ride safe peeps!

    wierd, but I tried changing where on the grid I was focusing every two or three seconds and the effect went away....


    But of course, cagers don't drive around staring fixedly on one spot do they?? :

    Fail to see [lol!! pun] that is really relative to smidsy incidents.... in fact it is NOT relative as if other images are moving they then come into mental focus.

    Focal point is centre and it has been known for many years that peripheral vision will have 'blind spots'..this is a very old visual 'trick' derivatives of which have been found in crackers ;D ;D.
    I need amusement in my sad life and it looks, very much, like you fit this requirement admirably..............begin the amusement!!!!!
