Very good point. Riding within your vision is extremely important, and often ignored. I've heard many experienced riders say things like "I came around the corner and some idiot had put grass clippings all over the road. I was barely able to stay up." One has to expect every corner to have grass clippings, or a tractor going 5 mph in the lane, or a stray cow, or a million other things that can kill you. Assume a hazard is always just out of sight.
