This is kind of off the topic, but:

When I was in Driver's Ed many years ago, we had one day where a local Harley rider came in and talked to the class. Told us what riding a motorcycle was like, told us how to get our motorcycle license, but most importantly, told us the chalenges that he has to face being a motorcycle rider on a highway filled with cars. Things like: Cars never see us, cars pull out in front of us, etc.

That was about 15 years ago, and his lessons still stick with me today, and I always keep an eye out on the road for bikes.

Why doesn't Driver's Ed classes have farmers come in and talk bout the challenges of being on the road with a tractor, and having to deal with all the cars? It seems like it would help, especially in farm country. If drivers had an idea of what farmers have to put up with, they'd be better able to handle situations when they meet on the road.
