While I glance at the driver, the vehicle front wheel tells the story. For the side street driver a front wheel starting to rotate and I am ready on the brakes. For the opposing direction driver waiting to turn to their left, front wheel turning left means going right now. So I brake right now as they turn in front of me and suddenly see me. Ride to live.

I agree, I'm currently teaching my 2nd (and final) kid to drive. He and his brother drove dirt bikes and atv's for a while, so they get the concept all right. I'm trying to get them took look at the other driver's face, you'll see right away if they're paying attention or not. They both want bikes, We are shutting that down Immediately, As long as they're in school or college, & reliant on us, we have the power. Of course they know I had a bike at 16 so I'm a complete hypocrite. I can live with that.
