WIF516 Falcon - Impact with cyclist

While indicating the intention to go around a parked car, the passing car drove so close that the mirror impacted the hand of the cyclist...

It is clear that there is a parked car ahead, and was NOT a sudden change by the cyclist.

The older male driver should be made to have a driving test!

Sat 30 May, Reg # XGM(W) 395

Agressive Driving...

The driver sounded the horn as they passed the cyclist on the corner. The driver was too impatient to drive 10 metres behind the cyclist to where the bike lane started.

This incident has been reported to the police.

Another Intersection Hazard...

The back wheel of the car almost runs over the shadow of the cyclist's head.

The bicycle was nearly laid down with skidding under the heavy braking.

This incident has been reported to the police.

Intersection hazard - No cycle lane across lights

Without a cycle lane across major intersection (with lights), drivers do not consider the path of a cyclist that they are crossing when turning right.

In this instance it was a clear day, highly visible rider (vest and NiteFlux light ON).

A cycle lane painted across the intersection may remind drivers they need to consider a cyclist as a vehicle also.



Intersection hazard - side street

Entering an intersection drivers do not consider the speed of a bicycle.

Research shows a cyclist travels at an average speed of 20 Km/Hr
(http://www.austroads.com.au/documents/TheAustralianNationalCyclingStrategy2005-2010.pdf)

In this video the speed was approx 25Km/Hr.
