If I ever do get complacent, it isn't with the methods, but with time management, and every time the route always reminds me never to take anything for granted. Someone once shared with me the four stages of learning a skill: Unconsciously incompetent: you don't know you don't know nothin'. Consciously Incompetent: you know you don't know nothin' Consciously Competent: You know you know something, but have to think about it to do it right. Unconsciously Competent: You don't really think about it; the basics are instinctive. For me, I unconsciously move my eyes every two seconds, always checking my mirrors, and observers often point this out; same with my turn signals. However, the times of HOW I use my signals change from day to day, thus I don't get complacent, because it does require some forethought of when to use it. [/QUOTE]
