The majority of cycling deaths (car vs bike), the motorist has been the one at fault.

Macadder,

Did not being their fault saved them?

Right or wrong has nothing to do with life and death.

I have as much right and share swimming in North Queensland with the Crocs, sharks and stingers.

I know of their existence and threat to my well being, and act accordingly by taking precautions.

Cyclists should be no different if they value their well being.

Stop complaining, and expecting strangers to look after your well being.

I give ever courtesy to pedestrians and cyclist when I can see them in time, as well as other motorist.

Visibility and behaviour are two important elements in safe road use.Do not do the unexpected. Not forgetting drugs and alcohol.

Better to go another block than turn across traffic suddenly and unexpectedly.

For in the end, it's what you do that most likely save you.

Happy and safe Xmas,
