4 - Always point at stuff on the road that you wouldn't want folks to run into, like potholes & roadkill. Generally, anybody following you won't have time to REALLY see, recognize & react because that's a 3-4 second process. At 60 mph ( 88 feet per second) that can be 100 yards and we tend to follow at 50-100 feet. The point is, maybe it will help, and if not, YOU are off the hook. "Hey, I pointed at those gopher guts BEFORE they got wrapped around you axle. Not MY fault!"
5 - Every now & then point at interesting things, mostly wildlife. For the most part, the folks behind you will have no idea what you're pointing at but you MUST point. It's a rule.
5(b) - This is important: At least twice as day, point at something that's not there, usually along a wooded area. You'll have plenty of time to make something up. Big animals are best, like elk, moose & bear. Do NOT stretch this one! A good leader must be credible, so know your indigenous species.
I'll try to get some pics of sample pointing later.
So what about Howard's belt? If he was able to fix it alongside the road, that would elevate my esteem of Howard's abilities to even higher levels.
