English term or phrase: Get on the binders
En un manual para enseñar a manejar bien motocicletas, hay un párrafo referente a estar listo para mantener la moto a una velocidad adecuada para el campo o distancia de visión que se tenga disponible en un momento dado, para poder frenar a tiempo frente a alguna situación que así lo requiera. El párrafo dice textualmente:

"If you consistently find that you are entering blind situations at speeds too fast to stop within your minumum sight distances, the message should be obvious: GET ON THE BINDERS and slow down quickly whenerver sight distance closes up."
