Finally the ability to know if there are multiple cars or not makes a huge difference.
You can also be rocking some tunes in your earbuds and be as aware if there are vehicles behind you!
Well it makes no sense to me to hug the curb when someone passes. That means that if you have a problem, that you'll have less options to do anything.
If someone is going to pass you then let them wait till they can safely pass. Don't look like you are telling them it's okay to squeeze by you.
I don't rock tunes with earbuds in my ears. I can play every song and video I know in my head without external help. That leaves my ears open to hear stuff behind me. I consider my hearing lousy, but I know cars are behind me about the same time Varia tells my son cars are behind us.
Though I like that the beep with Varia can knock me out of that daydream when on long stretches of open road and few are around. But how are you going to hear that beep when you are rocking tunes with earbuds?
