The unsealed road is the primary cause of major deposits of dust mud etc on the rear end of the car. As Western Europe is generally blessed with quality sealed roads, the problems of major deposits of dust, mud and allied crud on the back end of the vehicle is not a major issue. |

| 556153 | 2007-06-06 05:20:00 | More likely because 1. If you indicate that you are changing lanes the following traffic slows to let you rather than speeding up. This is the only safe way to cope with other traffic coming onto motorways. 2. As the Italians say "What's behind you isn't important." If there's no "eye-taliuns" in the group... Why did the Italian tanks have rear view mirrors on them in WWII? To watch the enemy. |

| 556155 | 2007-06-06 06:16:00 | doing my full licence test for my bike the intructor followed me in a huge tank of a 4wd andwatched what i did. when we stopped he asked me what all the hazards at the previous intersection were. i told him everything down to car colour, make and model, but he said i still missed one: him behind me. to add to that the only car crash i've been in was me being rear ended. i was sta0itonary and he was doing about 70kph downhill |
