Why Don’t we See Cyclists?

A lot to do with Observation & Planning, or rather the absence of such.

The Police Drivers’ Handbook – Roadcraft – devotes more than 20 pages on the subject & many more besides, presenting some of the risks, real & potential, which include:

• The Human Factors
• The reality of Looking, but not Seeing
• Making Links
• Night Driving
• Peripheral Vision
• Scanning the Environment
• Zones of Visibility

Please check your understanding.

We present here a video with a YouTube link.  Please watch and see if you can predict the reasons why this is such a dangerous crossroads

And remember, we share the road with all users and cyclists are some of the most vulnerable.
