I used to ride motor bikes all the time - I check all around me... you are right - I have reading glasses and when even walking around the house I sometimes run into a door jamb or something when carrying something in my arms ..... they wreck your peripheral vision... don't go stepping down off a ladder with them on - you let go two steps up instead of one.....
Don't need them for driving though, but you are right - test is only straight ahead.
Graps, I learned to ride dirt bikes when I was 6, I learned to drive cars in the paddock on a farm when I was 10. I've raced motocross, have done about 50 track days fanging a bike around Eastern Creek at face melting speeds.
I've ridden motorbikes around S/E Asia, from the bottom of Thailand thru Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam in some of the craziest traffic in the world.
I've been in two accidents in my life, both times nearly identical, a multi car bumper to bumper where the car in front of me read ended the car in front of it, I managed to stop in time yet the car behind rear ended me.
Put simply, all drivers are not equal.
