But do you realize how dangerous and scary it is for cars while you are weaving in and out to get to the head of the line? Cars sometimes make lane changes while waiting at a red light or a right turn and don't notice when you suddenly get in their blind spot.

Foot on the brake until you check blind spot.

Ya know?

It's called a blind spot because you can't see what's in it.

Ya know?

That's why you CHECK IT before you maneuver into it.
