SMIDSY..... why we're not seen.

Having been a Qualified Flying Instructor for 3 years at the Basic Fast Jet school we had to teach the young pilots coming through how to look out, as the original article said. It is amazing that no such tuition is given to new drivers.
Experience, whether derived on 2 or 4 wheels, can help, but is not the be all and end all. After all, you need to ride to become a better rider! Tuition in any form is always good, and learning skills in a different environment (off road/track) can translate to your control on road.
The thrust of the article is that whilst a driver may "look" they might not "see", and thus we need to protect ourselves and give us the best chance to be seen!
