Correct viewing is often difficult uphill. The dirt on the right-hand side of the lane also first demands attention and thus draws attention to itself.

Now it’s time to “keep your head up” and look uphill to see if oncoming traffic is coming and how the road will continue. We don’t see yet what the next picture shows.

Looking ahead at an early stage prevents us from being frightened by the now emerging cyclist and allows us to perceive the following right-hand bend in good time.

The straight horizon, the view at the exit of the curve or in the next curve, this is how the curve tango succeeds.

Exercise for peripheral vision: This exercise is ideal to make us aware of how far our field of vision extends into the periphery, how much we can still perceive from the corner of our eyes. With a helmet on, we stretch our arms forward, the thumbs of the hands together point upwards.

Streblow

6/6
With our gaze we fix the thumbs, then a point behind these thumbs. There we let our gaze fix, so we keep looking straight ahead and move the outstretched arms to the sides until we can just see the thumbs up. That is how far our field of vision is!

Motorcycles ride well and safely

A motorcycle goes wherever the driver looks. We have all heard this teaching before, but we forget it far too often. Therefore, here is a thorough reminder of how important it is to direct your gaze when riding a motorcycle.

Who does not know this: we have to turn on the road, the curb is getting closer and closer, the front wheel hits and – thump! The clearer it becomes that we can’t get around, the more the gaze fixes on that curb. The turning circle of the motorcycle would have been enough, we just didn’t dare. But above all: We didn’t turn our heads far enough, looked at the supposed obstacle and drove straight towards it.

Only if we really direct our gaze where we want to go will we get out of there. This always applies when our sense of balance is also involved in the movement. With the car it doesn’t really matter, we turn the steering and the box turns.

And so, even inexperienced people try it with the motorcycle: After the control look, the eyes go diagonally in front of the front wheel, with plenty of space and feet you might come around. If the terrain is narrow or even sloping, no attempt is made to turn there.

Only if we manage to turn our head and, ideally, our upper body in the desired direction of travel and keep our gaze there to the end, will our sense of balance agree and the turn can be successful.

Blick pulls through the curve

You can avoid such unpopular maneuvers. Too bad that keeping your eyes on every curve and at every speed is extremely important.

Streblow

When approaching the curve, our eyes tend to fall to the edge of the road in front of us. There is dirt there, a barrier prevents entry into the outgoing dirt road. We don’t want to go there!

If we stare at the ditch or the oncoming traffic at 100 kilometers per hour in a country road curve, the result is no longer annoying or embarrassing as at walking speed, but extremely dangerous.

There are countless cases in which a motorcyclist was not too fast to take a bend, but rather to guide his eye. Only iron training and the really comforting certainty that the right look really pulls us through the curve when we can do it helps here.

Look far ahead

When unsafe motorcyclists drive through curves more slowly than necessary, their eyes are usually quite close to the front wheel. Your argument: you have to see what is there in front of you in order to be able to react. But then it really works?

Streblow

Now we should turn our head and look into the curve, actually look up, in order to be able to adjust to the further course of the route and any oncoming traffic.

At 50 kilometers per hour we cover about 14 meters per second. This one second is usually taken as the reaction time, i.e. the period of time in which we decide on a reaction but have not even started it. So 14 meters are covered at 50 km / h before any action can be seen. And then there would still be room for the braking or evasive path. We suspect this unconsciously, and our stomach clearly says: take it easy.

Only when our gaze reaches so far that we can, if not stop, at least react within the route we are looking at, does well-being arise. Which means that with 70 things on the country road, you should overlook almost 20 meters of reaction distance plus a good 20 meters of braking distance, i.e. at least 40 meters, in order to be safe on the road. At 100 km / h we should be able to see more than 70 meters.

Train gaze guidance

Inexperienced people are often exhausted much faster than old hands because they have their eyes everywhere, pay attention to everything, perceive nothing properly and still cannot distinguish between what is important and what is unimportant for us.

Streblow

The earlier we can aim at this point, the sooner we see the cyclist coming and perceive the following right-hand serpentine (within the focused circle)

 However, this is difficult to train consciously, here it is even more important than usual that experience comes from driving.

However, gaze guidance can be trained, ideally with Bernt Spiegel’s motto such as “look into the curve”, “look far ahead” or “look behind the curve”. This can also be practiced mentally by “visualizing” the situations. Every time there is a greater chance of getting better from corner to corner and, when things get tight, to react correctly.
