AV Geeks 16mm Lunch 3-19-2025

e e e e e all in all I Hello everybody welcome I am skip alimer welcome to the a Geeks lunchtime streaming show where we watch old 16 millimeter films and occasionally we let you vote on particular songs that appear in the films uh little Jingles or uh actual songs and then we uh compete against the found footage Festival who specialized in video and uh I think we did pretty good uh we got in the finals I don't know if you watched last night uh you can see it at the found footage Festival channel uh we made it to the finals but we just didn't put it over the top compared to uh the Sega gem Gemini industrial video song which was pretty good although although I got to say the multiz unicorn song is still stuck in my head in mullet country still stuck in my head uh and part of it the reason I don't think we won is I didn't play the game 100% the way that they do it where uh I only gave a short snippet of the song and I should have had the whole song up there um and then shown Parts because that's what they do it was weird anyways it was great it was a lot of fun uh and thank you for watching and voting if you did last night and over the week uh let's get back to watching some 16 mm films this is again a cornet film nutritional needs of our bodies enjoy [Music] our health is closely related to our nutrition or to the foods we eat you may like corn a food that comes from a plant or perhaps chicken a food that comes from an animal the food value of both plants and animals depends upon six substances carbo carbohydrates proteins fats vitamins minerals and water these substances are found in various amounts in animals and plants the foods we prepare from plants and animals also contain these substances we call these substances nutrients when we say we are eating a balanced meal we mean our meal contains proper amounts of all nutrients we often talk about nutrients in connection with four General groups of foods the dairy foods consist of milk and products made from milk nut meats and beans are sometimes included in the meat group consisting of red meat fish eggs and poultry made up of green and yellow vegetables fruits and tomatoes is the group of fruits and vegetables foods from wheat and grain make up the Breads and cereals group meals which are lacking in one or more nutrients provided by these groups of foods may result in poor health as shown by these laboratory rats this healthy active rat has been fed a balanced diet containing all nutrients this small weak rat is in poor health proper amounts of nutrients are missing from its Foods this example illustrates why a balanced diet is necessary to supply proper amounts of nutrients for good health the body needs nutrients for energy growth replacement and regulation what happens to nutrients in the body we know that our bodies like the bodies of all living things are made up of cells the smallest living parts of both plants and animals we're able to see these cells under a microscope these are blood cells these are fat cells cells such as these Make Up Bones all of the millions of cells in the body require nutrients nutrients to meet the body needs of energy growth replacement and regulation before the cells can use the nutrients in food the food must be digested within the body digestion changes food into liquid form this liquid is rich in nutrients which pass through the walls of the small intestine and are absorbed into the blood this scene shows the blood carrying nutrients through the body of a living animal a frog in every animal and in humans each cell receives nutrients from the blood the nutrients represented by the letter N move into the cells and are changed through a chemical process by combining with oxygen in the cell oxygen shown by the letter O combines with the chemicals in the nutrients this is oxidation during this process energy is released foods rich in carbohydrates Ates are those which Supply the body most readily with energy among the foods which are the best sources of carbohydrates are foods from grains enriched breads breakfast cereals and flour potatoes and many fresh and dried fruits sugar honey and candies provide immediate energy but Supply little else fats are nutrients which are also good sources of energy foods rich in fats include lard butter margarine bacon vegetable oil nut meats and many cheeses proteins a third group of nutrients are found in nearly all foods but foods such as fish lean meat and poultry are high in protein many cheeses and eggs are also rich in protein and are called complete protein food gelatin and dry beans are also protein foods milk is a valuable protein food and furnishes almost all other nutrients while protein in the body may be oxidized for energy they are more important for meeting the body need of growth all parts of the body especially the muscles need proteins in order to grow this is a highly magnified view of human muscle fibers made up of many cells muscle cells like all cells in the body break down and die all cells are replaced as living cells such as this one divide producing new cells this need of the Body for cell division and replacement requires proteins we've seen that cells make use of three groups of nutrients carbohydrates fat fs and protein in addition the body requires three other substances usually grouped as nutrients water vitamins and minerals minerals are very important for growth especially for strong healthy bones and teeth the bones of all animals contain the mineral nutrients calcium and phosphorus these minerals give bones their hardness we'll remove the minerals from this chicken bone by soaking it for several hours in a strong acid after several hours the acid has turned dark as it has removed the calcium and phosphorus from the bone the bone is now washed with no minerals in it the bone is so soft that it bends easily we can see that calcium phosphorus and other minerals are important nutrients for keeping bones and teeth strong and healthy some foods especially rich in minerals such as calcium are milk and cheese spinach broccoli and other greens the mineral phosphorus is found in many protein foods such as milk cheese broccoli spinach eggs and beef liver such Foods also Supply iron needed by blood cells so minerals provide the body with nutrients for growth and replacement especially for bone and blood cells another body need is that of Regulation the body regulates Itself by eliminating wastes circulating the blood to digesting food and fighting diseases vitamins are the group of nutrients important to this need for regulation and fighting disease fresh uncooked foods are excellent sources of many vitamins because little was known about vitamins when they were first discovered they were named by letters as more is being learned about these nutrients they are being given more accurate scientific names for example for vitamin C ascorbic acid for three of the B vitamins the names nasin thaman and riboflavin proper amounts of vitamins make it possible for the body to regulate Itself by resisting disease still another nutrient especially important for the need of Regulation is water water aids in digestion and in transporting body wastes there is some water in most foods but drinking plenty of water every day is a good health habit we've seen that in order to build and maintain good health the body needs carbohydrates proteins fats vitamins minerals and water balanced meals will supply proper amounts of nutrients for Body Energy growth replacement and regulation good health depends upon good foods and good foods are those which provide for the nutritional needs of the body [Music] so the danger of me uh doing this show in the dining room means that I am often in the kitchen either preparing food or uh loading the dishwasher so I apologize for those gaps um so we watched yesterday uh what to do when you need a banker here's one same series what to do when you need an insurance agent and this film starts off it's the film was curled so it doesn't keep Focus really well and the audio is a little like where but it does pick up and um this seems to be uh people who are irresponsible with a uh in this film so just like with the banker film people who are irresponsible with their checking account this is uh a teenager who's irresponsible well you'll see enjoy [Music] look out [Music] how much is it going to cost cost to fix it about $800 well that's not too bad it looks a lot worse than that besides your insurance company will pay for it oh not all of it we have a $250 deductible clause in our policy where you going to get $250 from my summer job but my dad said he'd lend it to me till then come on let's get out of here that was Scott Hammond and his friend Larry worth and this is Scott's car they were looking at fortunately neither Scott nor the other party in the accident were injured but the accident has caused a series of problems for Scott there are more than 26 million automobile accidents every year that's 50 accidents were every minute of every day 11:36 a.m. last Monday morning was Scott's minute [Music] hi Mom H Mr Samy Hello Larry what's for supper your dad's taking us out tonight oh you did call Mr Davis to report your accident didn't you Scotty I forgot Mama I'll do it today for sure I have to get ready your dad will be home soon why don't you call Mr Davis right now while you're thinking about it it's the Davis Insurance Agency in Most states the police conduct an onl scene investigation particularly where injuries are involved but in any case every accident should be reported to police as required by local law usually within 48 hours after the accident even if there were no injuries for your own protection you should write down the date time and place of the accident and the name address and phone number of the other driver and their insurance agent insurance company and policy number if possible and Witnesses if any then write a brief account of the accident while it's fresh in your mind and report it to the police department and your insurance agent you should never indicate how much insurance coverage you have or confess guilt even if you feel you were at fault and never sign anything that might indicate that you were not physically injured you should refer everything to your insurance agent he or she will handle these things in your best interest what you doing I know her name is here somewhere darn it what are you looking for it's on a yellow piece of paper come on I'll walk over to your house with you your mom told you to call an insurance agency later I'm going over to Larry's for a minute Mom I'll be right back Goodbye Mr H hey what's you Scott did you call Mr Davis Scotty hi is everybody ready to go just relax for a minute I want to talk to you Scott I was talking with Tom Davis our insurance agent and he told me that you still haven't reported your accident to him now Scott this can really be serious why haven't you called him well I was going to Dad but well I've just been so busy oh come on now no one's that busy call him right now the truth is Dad I I lost all the information I took when I had the accident why I can't even remember the name of the the driver oh for crying out loud how could you have lost it Scott well I put it in my book it must have fallen out call Tom Davis right now see what he wants you to do you should have filed your report with the police department right away Scott we'd better try and get one together now and get it over there as quickly as we can now tell me as much as you remember about about it insurance is society's answer to some of life's more serious problems it's people pooling funds to provide benefits to each other when the need arises the contributions of many people create a fund for those who suffer a defined loss it's a system that proves that people are capable of cooperating to achieve satisfactory ends and in today's world life would be nearly impossible without insurance now you're sure that's the way it happened pretty sure Mr Davis the light was green for me and when the woman in the other car got to the intersection she didn't stop so her light was red yes sir but were there any Witnesses no I don't think so Mr Davis will this accident make my insurance rates go up it could have some effect statistics show that teenagers as a group have more automobile accidents than adults now Scott lives at home and is still on his parents auto policy and his rates are lower than they would be if he lived away from home and had a separate policy of his own most insurance companies offer discounts for second cards and for teens who maintain high grade averages complete driver training courses do not drive high performance vehicles and have safe driving records insurance rates or premiums are determined by the amount of risk involved a high higher the risk the higher the premium so it pays to be a safe driver will you and your folks be home this evening Scott yes I think so good I'll try and get some more information for this accident claim report this afternoon then I'll stop by and we can wrap it up tonight I'd like to talk to your father too about the estate planning proposal I'm working on for him so be sure and have them call me if it will be any inconvenience okay sure Mr Davis [Music] hello hello may I speak to Scott Hammond Please speaking Scott this is Grace Cary I'm the woman whose car you ran into last week oh hello Mrs Cary I was going to call you yes you said you would but I thought I would have heard from you by now I know I need to know who your insurance agent is so I can file a claim I still haven't gotten my car out of the repair shop you know after what you did I would think the least you owe me is the courtesy of the phone call you promised have you found the name and address of your insurance agent yet Scott I'm I'm sorry about the phone call Mrs Carrie I just haven't gotten that information yet you see my parents are still out of town and well I just don't know where to get the information hello Tom hi Bill hi Scott hi sit down Tom I just made a fresh pot of coffee well that sounds sounds great Elanor thank you Scott said that you had all that information you needed for my life insurance policy yes the additional premium information came in this morning so we can discuss the entire proposal tonight before I leave oh real good Mr Davis has been the Hammond family's insurance agent for several years he was recommended to them by a friend of the family who was also one of Mr Davis's clients finding the right agent for your insurance needs shouldn't be left to chance ask a friend or relative or your Banker lawyer or a business contact to recommend someone with whom they've dealt successfully if they've established a good relationship with the agent chances are good that you will too but you should talk to two or three agents before you make a choice an agent should be chosen the same careful way you would choose a doctor or lawyer you want the Assurance of expert advice that you can rely upon for a long time you want to make sure your agent represents an established reputable company you want your agent to be able to offer you the complete range of insurance services and not just auto insurance your agent should be able to help resolve claims issues if needed and represent your interests to the company but how can you tell if you're dealing with a good Agent if he explains why he feels that a policy is right for you tells you in detail what benefits you can receive from it and shows you how how a policy fits into the rest of your financial picture you know you have a competent agent did Scott get this accident thing straightened out well yes and no what's the problem well we tried to reconstruct the accident this afternoon to make out the reports that we need but Scott was a little sketchy on the details I called the police department to fill in the holes and picked up the information we needed I thought you told me the police didn't show up at the accident they didn't uh that's true they didn't but the driver of the other car or Mrs carry had filed her accident report I got what we needed from it her version of the accident was quite a bit different Scott different in what way well according to her report she had the green light and it was Scott who ran through the red she's mistaken she must not remember what happened this is very important Scott a settlement still depends on fixing the blame for the accident if you caused the accident if it was your fault then we need to know that so that your insurance company and I can settle with Mrs carry as quickly as possible if it was her fault then the damages to her car and to yours are the responsibility of her insurance company if we don't have the right information it could cause a long delay in the settlement she ran the red light well then that's that incidentally Tom how will this accident affect our policy the company won't cancel will they well it could has have some effect on the premium but I don't don't think there's the possibility of a cancellation if your insurance company cancels your policy for what in your opinion is an unjust reason you should protest that decision discuss it with your agent first he or she should be able to resolve the situation to your satisfaction if not however you have the option to write or call the insurance commission in your state and your state legislators and your representatives in Congress be firm in your request for action and if your application for insurance is turned down find out why if an investigation was made get the name and address of the reporting company and demand that the investigating agency give you all of the nature and substance of the information in its files if you disagree with their findings demand that the agency reinvestigate and reverifying surance situation Bill yes Tom brought all the information we needed shall we go over it now great I'm anxious to see what you've come up with Tom generally there are two kinds of insurance agents with whom you're likely to deal one works as an employee for a single insurance company and the other an independent agent is an independent business person who represents several companies the first can be limited to the policies his company offers and the rates they have set for those policies but an independent agent like Tom Davis offers you a choice he or she is free to shop the insurance market for you to find the best possible rates and exactly the right policy for all your insurance needs including your life your home your Auto and other personal belongings and your business well I have some homework to finish will you need me for anything else not if what you say is true Scott I'll call and check further and get back to you thanks Mr Davis hello Mrs worth this is Scott Hammond may I speak to Larry please thanks Hi listen I think I'm in really big trouble can you come over for a while I'd really like someone to talk to thanks a lot I panicked when I lost the information about the accident I started to lie just to cover my lies Mr Davis is really going to I know he'll find out as soon as he talk to the other woman boy are you in trouble yeah I know well you better tell your parents and but my dad's going to be so mad at me it'll be a lot worse if Mr Davis calls him and tell tells him I guess you're right I better get it over with yeah I'm sorry I lied Mr Davis I don't know why I thought I could get away with it I suppose I should call Mrs Carrie and apologize to her that's probably a good idea Scott I'm glad you told us the truth it will save us a lot of time but I should be honest with you too I talked with Mrs Carri about an hour ago did you know there was a witness to the accident no I didn't I guess that would have made it a little embarrassing for me if it had gone to court for all of us so what about the claim for the damages on your own car well my dad said he would loow me the money for the deductible part of our policy but he's so mad at me now I guess I'll have to wait till I earn enough this summer to get my car fixed that's all right is most every everyone who buys Insurance hopes that nothing will ever happen but in the event it does Insurance can be the only thing that stands between you and financial ruin no one's future is secure without some form of protection for your car your home your health and your life becoming an intelligent buyer of insurance is just a matter of understanding the system and those who work within it we've told you a few ways to be more effective in your dealings with insurance and insurance insurance agents we've told you how to find an agent how to know if he or she is the right one for your needs and what services they perform we've also told you how to get the most for your insurance dollar and how to buy the type and amount of insurance coverage you need we've told you these things because this information is important to you as a potential consumer of insurance services and because you should know n I think I actually had CNA Insurance uh business insurance for liability um for AV Geeks um yeah that kid man man lies lies lies um while we're on the insurance tip let's watch this film because maybe you got so interested in um that insurance uh agent um and how he inserted himself in almost every aspect of that family's life uh maybe this is uh for you [Music] one of the most precious things in the world is time for time is the essence of life units of time in days months years are the measure of the lifespan of every human being while no one can predict the lifespan of an individual child or even that of an elderly grandfather nevertheless the life expectancy of large groups of people can be readily determined by experts in the Life Insurance field for example Insurance statistics show that out of 10,000 people of 35 years of age 6,400 or about 64% can be expected to reach the age of retirement using facts such as these life insurance companies have issued policies to more than half our population added up these policies amount to about $4,700 for each American Family Financial Protection is thus provided to individuals Desiring Security in their later years as well as in cases of emergency until needed to pay these policy benefits most of the premium dollars paid by policy holders to their insurance companies are used to finance the expansion of industry and commerce the operations of railroads and other transportation systems the costs of certain local state and national government activities the development of utilities such as electric power light and gas companies and the construction of multiple housing projects in urban areas in analyzing the operations of life insurance companies which provide employment for more than 300,000 men and women it is apparent that a great variety of talents and abil I ities contribute to the process of issuing a policy and keeping that policy in force until it is paid out to the policy holder or beneficiary in order to understand the functions of the life insurance home office and to study the job opportunities it provides let's start from the moment the life insurance agent secures a written application for life insurance the application is then mailed to the home office of the Life Insurance Company thousands of such forms from Agents and medical examiners throughout the country are received at the home office and after sorting and classifying are delivered to the lay Underwriters the job of the lay underwriter is to determine whether the applicant can qualify for life insurance the lay underwriter's responsibility is great for his decision must be fair both to the applicant and to the company the decision is reached only after careful study of the agent part of the application the medical report from the local doctor and perhaps a report from the Inspection Bureau relative to the financial physical and moral status of the applicant qualifications for this position include a thorough knowledge of life insurance finance and economics ability to understand medical reports and a knowledge of occupations and the hazards they may entail working close with the underwriter is the medical Department staffed with doctors the doctors function in an executive capacity assisting the lay underwriter in appraising applicants for insurance selecting and supervising the practicing physicians in the field who examine applicants for life insurance definite working hours are enjoyed by the home office doctor at the same time he can contribute to medical research through his studies of the trends in disease and illness information from medical reports on policy holders is filed for future reference file clerks in this department must be accurate and diligent in their work for an error in the records could cause serious complications in either issuing policies or in paying claims the cost of insurance is determined by experts who plan the features of all of the life insurance policies the actuaries the job of the actuary is one of the the most important in the life insurance company he is to life insurance what the engineer is to bridge building the actuary determines the basic facts upon which the company operates he is the mathematical expert who prepares statistics regarding length of Life establishes premium rates computes policy values and forecasts probable results to be an actuary one should be a college or university graduate with a major in MA mathematics and with better than average ability one should also study law economics Finance accounting English composition and other cultural subjects to achieve professional status he must pass a series of eight examinations offered jointly by the two professional Actuarial organizations it usually takes from 6 to 9 years of part-time study on the job to complete the series due to the actuary's comprehensive training he is qualified for higher administrative positions particularly if he shows ambition initiative and the ability to work with people his duties require frequent consultation with key Executives such as the president and treasurer of the company the president is in close contact with the treasurer who plans the financial policies of the company and supervises all funds among the Personnel in the Treasurer's Department are the cashiers in charge of all cash transactions incoming as well as outgoing then there are the controllers accountants and Auditors who supervise the general books and records of the company the manual labor is greatly reduced by bookkeeping machines tabulating machines automatic check writers addressograph and many others the Treasurer's Department may also be responsible for wise investment of company funds this function is directed by experienced financial advisors including mortgage experts real estate appraisers and securities analysts all legal problems in connection with life insurance company operations are usually managed by a staff of professionally qualified lawyers they guide the company through the various complexities of legal matters supervise the writing of policy contracts and advise agents and field Representatives on issues that may affect the interests of policyholders and Company alike the claims department is responsible for paying the beneficiary the amount due on the death of the insured there are no schools or colleges to instruct in claims examining experience alone is the only teacher and as in most careers in life insurance the real training begins on the job after you get started with the company for this reason many who plan on life insurance careers can find Initial openings as clerks stenographers machine operators or file clerks in the home office and work up to higher paying positions of Greater responsibility special skills required for these jobs are typing to handle the heavy home office correspondence shorthand to take dictation or the ability to operate a stenotype or transcribing machine in order to take dictation at high speed mechanical devices are numerous in the home such as key punching machines photostat machines tabulators duplicating machines and postage metering machines young men and women just out of high school and without special skills are often hired as clerks if they show promise of being able to advance most life insurance companies make every effort to Aid the advancement of employees educational programs are offer to

that contributes to the welfare of your country and your fellow citizens you'll find satisfaction and security if you select life insurance as your life work [Music] [Applause] I don't know why uh it's being so glitchy uh anyways yeah there's uh two films about insurance uh I have others and uh they're they are even less interesting um so I was noticing in the comment somebody was talking about uh trying to come up with an avgeeks top 100 or a uh Hall of a Geeks Hall of Fame that's something that uh maybe we should explore that because I'm interested in uh seeing what the best way to do that is um you know is it a ranking of the top 100 a Geeks films if so like how do we do that um there's a lot of uh bookkeeping involved with that which is why that kind of comes to mind with this last film uh so I don't know if you watched last night I was on the found footage Festival toet tapping tourament but I also kind of took over some of their other segments too which is why I think they were especially gunning for me uh and one of them was a celebrity segment and I showed this film a clip from it and I realized wow I haven't shown this in like five years so here is uh not so easy a wonderful uh motorcycle safety film featuring two celebrities and um I revealed them last night and the credits revealed them pretty quickly so here we go enjoy [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all remember me while ago I made a film called Easy Rider but I'm here to say it's not so easy I'm Peter Fonda I've ridden bike for quite a few few miles quite some time too it's a great way to get around it's a good sport if you know what you're doing if you don't know it could be a quick ride to the hospital or even the graveyard which are two good reasons why you should watch and listen to what this film has to say here's another friend of mine riter evil conal if I look like I'm rigging up for a trip into outer space you're right I don't swing a leg over a bike for a trip to the neighborhood drug store unless I've got on Leathers boots and gloves they've saved a lot of hide especially in accidents like mine and goggles and a face shield are a must they may save you from being blinded if you're riding a motorcycle behind an automobile and a helmet nobody should ever ride a motorcycle without a helmet I never do three out of four fatalities on a motorcycle have resulted from head injuries if the rider had been wearing a helmet he may be alive today another thing that's important don't get on a strange bike without checking the brake the gas and especially your rear view mirror you have to get the feel of a new bike too before you you hit the road get familiar with the controls for example on some models the foot brake is located on the right and on others the left balance varies from model to model 2 and these are things you ought to have a feeling for before you tangle with traffic if you're an experienced rider that should make sense if you're a beginner don't do any of these things not on your own you should be learning to ride under the supervision of a pro training is available through schools police departments and motorcycle dealers by the way three out of five bike accidents happen to beginners during their first 6 weeks of riding boy this isck but hey in case you're thinking that canal and I are a couple of nervous old ladies let's not forget the kind of thing that Canal has done [Music] [Music] it isn't as hairy as this but it still takes a lot of Rider to handle a freeway you've got a lot going for you on a bike if you really use it if a car cuts you off your braking and downshift will stop you much more quickly than a car same goes for Superior acceleration and maneuverability on a bike that can get you out of bad spots [Music] fast take a good look your controls are positioned for almost instant response if your hands and feet are where they belong brakes clutch down shift maneuverability acceleration and for visibility there's nothing like it 360° of unobstructed vision if you keep your eyes open and know when and where to look if the trouble isn't with the rider they're still the threat of the car driver for some reason most car drivers just don't seem to see bikes so you've got to think of them as asleep blind or drunk the records show that nine out of 10 bike accidents at intersections are chalked against cars turning in front of or into cycles and in most cases the driver will honestly claim that he didn't see the motorcycle there is some help in making yourself as visible as you can with what you're wearing like a white helmet also if you keep a safe distance behind the car you're following and ride over the left side of the lane you give yourself an edge even when that asleep blind or drunk driver tries to wipe you out you've had time and space to anticipate [Music] trouble and to avoid it but you still can't relax after you passed the corner hard statistics show that midblock bike accidents split just about evenly with intersections gift parked cars a wide birth an opening door can really cream you and never forget that bit about the sleeping Blinder drunk driver and it's a good idea to have your headlight on at all times day as well as night whether or not it's required by local laws on a three-lane highway it's good practice to ride the Middle Lane that means if there's trouble ahead you can choose between right and left lanes to duck into and stick to the side of the lane you're riding to avoid oil slicks which are usually concentrated in the center of the lane one thing a bike doesn't have over a car is good Traction in oil snow or gravel the left side of the lane is usually better than the right of course because a car dri driver can see you in his rearview mirror while the right side of a car is generally a blind spot but even more important in the right or left side of the lane you can see ahead of the car in front of you you should be able to see at least three cars ahead at all times that really counts when traffic gets [Music] rough and forget about slot r ring man even if you seem to have plenty of space that hole in between cars can disappear a lot faster than you can get through [Music] it but if all this has you wondering if maybe you ought to sell your bike here's an interesting hunk of information [Music] motorcycle police of the Los Angeles Department ride by the book where if they don't they're just not on the motorcycle Squad anymore they follow the rules and they've put together a safety record of less than 18 accidents per million miles ridden that's compared with 27.9 accidents for every million miles driven by the Department's Fleet of patrol cars which is almost 10 less accidents for bikes than cars for every 3 million miles [Music] [Music] nah [Music] it shows that motorcycles can be safe so let's do a quick Double Take of how it can be that way with you here's a motorcycle safety test make sure you know the right answers before you get back on a bike question number one protective clo clothing like boots goggles leathers and helmet are strictly for beginners an experienced rider does not need them true or false the answer is false the more experienced a rider the better he knows that he does not belong in a bike unless he is dressed to protect himself against that accident that can always happen question number two if you are a good Rider it is okay to hop aboard any bike and take off true or false the answer is false it's important to check out a bike thoroughly lights handling the works before you hit the road question number three nine out of 10 bike accidents at intersections are caused by car drivers not the motorcycle rider true or false true car drivers just don't seem to see bikes you have to think of them as asleep blind or drunk question number four chances of an accident in the middle of a block or less than not intersections true or false false middle block accidents are just about equal to intersection smash ups so don't relax between intersections question number five it is a good idea to ride the Middle Lane on a three-lane highway true or false the answer is true the Middle Lane gives you a chance to duct to either the right or the left when there's trouble up ahead [Music] question number six whatever Lane you are in it is safest to ride right in the middle of it true or false the answer is false the middle of the lane is where you will usually find the oil slick that can throw you and besides if you're directly in back of a car you can't see far enough ahead to anticipate emergencies question number s it is safer to ride in the left side of your lane rather than the right true or false the answer is true a car driver can see you in his rearview mirror his right side is usually a blind spot question number eight riding into the slot between cars is dangerous true or false the answer is true you can bet on it that slot can disappear awfully fast and you'd better not be in it when it happens question number nine the odds are against you on a motorcycle no no matter how safely you handle it true or false the answer is false police statistics show that alert experienced Riders observing all the safety rules can reduce motorcycle accidents below the normal car accident rate question number 10 your head light should only be turned on at night or On A Dark Day true or false the answer is false your headlight will help a lot in catching the attention of car drivers question number 11 your helmet serves only one
