Ally, I learned this in my BRT course (oregon MSF) and have been practicing on my turns, etc. It freaks me out though to the point where sometimes I stop looking through my turn, and I can feel that Im not following through all the way. Any tips on making a habit of this? I always feel like there is something else I need to be looking at that isn't so far ahead. Like where I am at on the road. lol.
