Riding distraction !!

[mr self destruct]

I saw this written the other day that the Police say " when overtaking,don't use indicators or do lifesaver "  as these cause loss of concentration on the manouvre,you should already know what is behind you and are aware of others!!


????? true ???? or not ????

I'd have thought it partially true. I'd check my surroundings and make sure it's safe to overtake well before starting the manoeuvre, leaving me free to concentrate on the overtake itself.
