Are you going to hog the lane with THESE behind you?? LOL. One day they came along every hour. And this is far from the widest loads.
If you are seen from a quarter mile back, then there is no need for you to use radar or mirrors(like the one mounted on your bike).
This post, like so many of your posts, makes no sense.

I have found the radar to be invaluable on gravel since I often want to ride on good lines which means I am not on the right shoulder. I cant easily hear vehicles approaching due to wind and gravel noise, so the radar picks up vehicles from 450' away and I am able to make my way to the right shoulder for the vehicle to pass without inconveniencing them.
