This short describes how car drivers should (with examples) be prepared and anticipate pedestrian and cycling behaviour. The California Department for Motor Vehicles has a selection of shorts on their website for educating drivers on sharing the road. The last words in this video are very powerful, “A driver has metal around them, with bicycles, they’re out there with nothing”.
There are many good reasons why cyclists ride in the middle of the lane — and contrary to what drivers think, it’s not just to annoy them! The Savvy Cyclist presents some neat animations to demonstrate the hazards of hugging the curb.
Nearly 500,000 young adults each year are injured due to various forms of distracted driving, including texting, mobile instant messaging, updating social media platforms, sending photos, etc. It’s a habit deadlier than drunk driving. We live in a constantly connected world where multitasking is second nature and communicating is instant. Coupled with this compulsion, teens and young adults are overly confident in their ability to ‘safely’ text while driving.
