N2: One thing the spotter doesn't tell you....

  That would be very helpfull.  I would also like it if he would stop
saying I'm "clear, clear all around" when there is a car right next to me.
I mean door handle to door handle and he says I'm clear.  I mean really,
it's bad enough to have a blind spot in the mirror's I don't need a blind
spotter also. ;-)

It would help the spotter a lot if drivers don't make bonehead moves
(cutting apron), staying in people's blind spot, brake late, etc...
