10 of 15
THIS WEEK'S TRANSCRIPT
Somebody doesn't like that you cut them off and they're coming up on you and they
see a baby on board sign there. Even if they don't see a baby in there if you have
tinted windows or whatever it is. They're going to see that big yellow sign their wood
baby on board and it might just make them back off same thing goes for that human
barricade that maybe or or if it's civil unrest are people out there things are getting
unruly maybe just maybe it could give you a little bit of help there to have those baby
on board signs that are showing people that there might be somebody in there that
they
Don't want to get hurt. All right prep step number five actually learned this one from
Jason Hanson. And that is he has the the former CIA officer Spy Escape and evasion
tactics. Jason's a good friend of mine. And one of the interviews that we talked about.
He said to keep your tires inflated 10% under the tires suggested PSI is now I say tires
suggested because if you get your tires changed out the dealers or your vehicle's
owners manual.
Or is not necessarily going to have the information that's related to the tires that you
have on your vehicle. But having your tires inflated 10% under what the tire says on
the side of it for your suggested PSI. So for example, if it says 50 psi on there, you're
going to inflate it to 45 PSI is that you're going to get better handling of the vehicle and
you're going to get me said you can get better gas mileage. Also. I've never really
tested that but better handling of the vehicle from lower.
Our inflation of the tires now five ten percent is not really that much and you can get
significantly more handling out of a pro here. So okay prep step number six is to have
your side mirrors of your vehicle outside of the view of the back of your vehicle for a
wider angle. So I know a lot of people like when you have your the left and right the
passenger side the driver's side window and our mirror.
That are out there. Most people will adjust them so that when you're sitting in your
vehicle you are you can see just like you can still see the back of your vehicle. That
way you can see where another vehicle is in relation to your vehicle. Well, you would if
somebody is that close to the back of your vehicle, you're not going to make that turn
into the other lane without looking behind you anyway, so it really doesn't help you that
way but as we all know there are blind spots that can be
made in the Via in that site. We know that there are blind spots with the mirrors. So by
taking your mirrors and putting them where you can just see the back of your vehicle
and then turn them out a little bit more so that way you're actually getting a wider angle
of view of the vehicles that could be on the left and the right side of you. So if
