Around here, if you assume a turn is clear but can't see all the way through it, you might easily come across a tractor pulling a tobacco wagon at 8 mph, or two pickup trucks stopped in the middle of the road, driver to driver, talking, or a 1/2" thick layer of grass clippings, or sand that washed out in the last rainstorm. As safe as riding out in the country where there are few cars seems to be, there are still plenty of things waiting to kill you if you let your guard down.
