| #1 | My question is could road position have affected the outcome!I was riding on the white line right next to the gravel strip with my road bike, so was as far left as practicle, would it have been better to have been riding about 1 m out!Would the driver have more likely seen me! If he hadn't seen me while further out I probably wouldn't be having the chance for this conversation right now as I'm sure another 10cm to the right and I would have been dead or worse. | Driver_pettigh Feb 21, 2012, 8:47 pm |
| #2 | A metre out and he probably would have clipped you with the centre of his grill. The question I have is not your position on the road, but why were you invisible to him! | Driver_gammelvind Feb 21, 2012, 9:47 pm |
| #3 | What sort of clothing were you wearing | Driver_johnf_456 Feb 21, 2012, 9:49 pm |
| #4 | Sun strike, maybe! | Driver_andrea_w Feb 21, 2012, 9:52 pm |
| #5 | did you have radar on your bike to know he was doing 100 km/h ! | Driver_bashfulbro Feb 21, 2012, 9:55 pm |
| #6 | Many drivers seem to assume they can fit within the same lane as a cyclist even on roads with narrow lane markings.In these cases I will 'take the lane', ride further out, this requires a motorist to make a concious decision to move around me rather than attempt an unsafe pass within the lane.If there is room to move over and let vehicles pass in a situation where there is oncoming traffic I'll definitely do so.It's safer for both parties for the vehicle to make a deliberate over taking manouver than trying to fit within the lane and clipping the cyclist. | Driver_legaxy Feb 21, 2012, 10:03 pm |
