As a follow-up to Spiderman's post on ride safety here is a visual and something to consider.
Avoid billboards. No, not the ones advertising for the latest beer ad or proposition for pot smoking. What we're talking about here is the ones that block your view. Following too close to these has two negative effects. 1) It makes it difficult for traffic ahead of you to see you and 2) It makes it near impossible for you to see what is ahead i.e. road damage, debris on the road, turning traffic, etc.
Here is a shot that says it all. The dump truck totally obscures the view ahead. How many times have you been in this dangerous position?
