Default Riding behind a bus

Great advice and thanks for sharing!
I use to drive for a delivery company part time and they made us take a safety course. Two things that stuck in my mind I'd like to also share are
1. Never ride behind a bus or any other "billboard", you need to be constantly scanning the area and processing in your mind everything that is going on around you, so being behind something that limits that is very dangerous. (I too will pass these "billboards, only to pull in right back in front of them)
2. Always back into your parking space so that when your backing up (which can be dangerous) you are doing it when the traffic situation is fresh in your mind, not to mention its safer to pull out straight when you leave. (that one is more a cage tip than a bike)
Thanks again!
