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. ;-) Steve-S

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...
