When I taught people to ride motorbikes, a long time ago in a previous life, the last look was always over the shoulder you were turning too.
It was called 'the life saver' for obvious reasons.
Nowadays it seems that nobody bothers, they just blame the victim for being in the wrong place/wearing dark clothing/ going too fast.
needless to say I still look, as do most motorcyclist of my age group, even when driving a car...
I was lucky as a teenager to do a motorcycle course with the Surrey Police. Apart from being great fun and getting the chance to meet Barry Sheene, it taught me me things that today I still use even though not been on a bike for 40 years. Treat everyone as an idiot and anticipate their moves. And NEVER place yourself in a position of danger.

Sometimes the costs have nothing to do with driving. Motor insurance went up to pay for the claims relating the Torrey Canyon disaster in 1967.

Has anyone noticed idiots in cars taking advantage of lack of traffic by not bothering to stop, slow down or even check for other traffic at junctions?
I learned to ride on a motorbike in 1978. I was taught not to rely on mirrors when pulling out to overtake on a motorway. That has stuck with me to this day.
Treat everyone as an idiot is the best appoach.

I am possibly the only person in the country who doesn't ride a bike either.
