I noticed something similar to this. My first trip on a section of road I never had been on before taught me to look ahead before you turn. I was bad before my schooling for turning and looking after. Problem is if you don't look ahead, you may miss the truck just about to reach an intersection or a kids ball flying toward the road, which can lead to a disaster. I nearly died as a result of missing the truck turning because I wasn't looking. He could not see me but I sure could have seen him if I looked. Changed the way I rode, and motorcycle school greatly helped with this.

Excellent, glad you were able to benefit and see the difference! It can be really tough to break the "look and turn at the same time" reflex but once you are able to it opens a whole new world.
Now, do you think that once you have sort of "gotten" something, like looking into the turn BEFORE you actually turn, that you don't have to work on it anymore or are there some skills, like visual skills, that require constant improvement?
