Peripheral vision

[Alan H]

I have very good peripheral vision. I can see a shapely young lady at a good 80 degrees right and left without my eyes leaving the straight ahead position. It's saved me many a slap when the better half thought I was letching  , but then rethought that when I wasn't looking directly at the aforementioned SYL.
Mirror sunglasses work too. 


Oh, I can see several spots btw..........

I prefer your peripheral vision test to the dots one Alan.  Definitely more stimulating.  For those with a risk aversion, you shouldn't be riding a bike for a start & secondly, do not attempt this test, it won't be worth it if you fail.

As a teenager and a passenger in a mates Morrie Minor......in Queen Street, Aucklands main street our peripheral vision alerted the lads to some svelt young things walking down the footpath on the other side of the road.
They in turn looked to check out what all the noise was about..... as the front of the Morrie penetrated the boot area and taillights of the car in front.

We actually decent movement better in our peripheral vision than directly in front.
Ask  military pilot,  S&R crewman,  etc


Its an evolution thing

Fortunately, some of us refuse to evolve, and just keep the 'lady radar/vision' working, whatever the angle.
Age is no problem.
