And even if the car hits you, you will not be crushed in between cars. Another advantage is that, having one mirror at the correct visual angle, you have a much better view of what is approaching from behind. There is not a single reason to stop in the position that the video shows.

I try to ride paranoid all the time, especially in a city where cagers are so impatient and try to get moving at any given chance. These safety methods/practices are necessary for any rider!

When you are at maximum braking effort and your rear tire is starting to lift up, all those 5,000 lbs go vertically to ground through the front contact patch. The heavier bike has as much forward momentum as heavier it is respect to another bike: your 5,000 lbs bike has 5/4 more momentum than a 4,000 lbs bike, if both are moving at the same speed and decelerating at the same rate. http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/fr...nts-d_778.html Rolling or skidding, the force resisting the forward movement at the contact patch is 90% or 70% of the weight that goes vertically to ground through the front contact patch.
