All motorists should be made to take there cycle test as part of there car driving test. i did this when i was 18 and found what they learnt you on the bike sticks in your mind for ever. there words (think that every motorist is out to kill you)
Even todate i constantly think bike, as i am also a keen MTB rider, but occasionally have to go on roads.
The only time i ever came close to been hit funnily enough was when a copper pulled straight across a round about at speed, NO BLUE LIGHTS, i swore at him, he didnt do nothing because he knew how wrong he was.
I agree.
Still didn't stop me getting cleaned up by a drunk. I was a motorcycle riding instructor at the time too. Nearly two years in and out of hospital and rehab, missing finger, hip replacement and a permanent limp and nerve damage were the end result (plus the end of my career as an instructor).
Funny thing is that the b%&**&% didn't even bother to come and say "Sorry mate, I didn't see you" just stood in the middle of the road until the police carted him away. Other people, including my wife who was about 50 metres behind me, called the ambulance etc.
