They have made up in there mind before even seeing you a pre-determined distance at which he/she will or will not pull out. At the distance they see you they figure its safe because they travel the same road a hundred times a year, however they are not accustumed to someone closing their distance at twice the speed limit.
Kidding and tricking your parents into believing something is one thing, but DO NOT kid YOURSELF or you WILL pay for it dearly.
How long of a conversation would it be if you go over EVERY single thing that can possible go wrong or what typically goes wrong.
I used corners as an example because you like to pick apart and analyze every little spec.
As long as you are prepared (like myself) and researched and learn, and continue to be open to learn there is a difference between what they should know and what they shouldnt.
I do not want my mother concerned about how many Gs it takes of force of a hit to the head to make me brain dead.
All I care to express to her is, Yes, Its dangerous, No its not as dangerous because I am self equipping my self with gear and knowledge.
That is all I want her to know and to concentrate on that, and MY personal way of talking with my mother is different than anyone elses, I clearly stated that atleast at the bottom of my post.
