andrewbell Posted January 31, 2008 Share Why is it that motorists think that they own the road even when turning across on coming traffic even if it is a cyclist, that they could easily see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVANC Posted January 31, 2008 Share I always assume they don't see me, until I'm sure they have stopped and wait for me to cross the road.CVANC2008-01-31 13:31:27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azonic Posted January 31, 2008 Share I've lost count of the amount of times cars would pull up next to me, just to turn left... while I'm usually still next to the car. Blind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trackie Posted January 31, 2008 Share I think we've all experienced inconsideration from motorists - as cyclists and as motorists. As Spinnekop would say.........Pop Pop - Sit back and enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cois Posted January 31, 2008 Share Umm, and don't forget the walkers and joggers. That is how I was hit by an taxi, walking home. I dread the day when a car is gonna hit me while jogging.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trackie Posted January 31, 2008 Share Yup. I thought that after 20 years I was immune. Then some A-Hole comes down the road with my name on the fender - 5 days in ICU and learning to walk again aint fun. That's why I don't ride anymore - try and be as safe as you can guys.

Trackie Posted January 31, 2008 Share I battled to walk again - then started riding as a pilot for a visually impaired rider-then got fired from the disabled track team for being too old. That's gotta hurt!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
