When I wen through drivers ED (in Illinois) I was taught to be constantly scanning...the road ahead, my instruments (speed) and my mirrors. Constantly. Not just if I want to change lanes. This keeps you aware of the circle of influence that surrounds your vehicle. It's not just a motorcycle that might be coming up behind you, but how about an emergency vehicle? What if it's bad weather and there happens to be a tornado behind you? (a bit extreme, but you get the point)
You have to be aware of what is on the road around you or you could be surprised in a bad way.
