Have you ever...- Gone through a red light?
- Broken the speed limit?
- Forgotten to check your wing mirror?
- Gone manoevre, mirror, signal?
- Found yourself going the wrong way down a one way street?
- Bumped another vehicle?
- Pulled out in front of a moving vehicle?
- Changed lane or turned without looking properly?
- Driven after drinking?
- Been drowsy at the wheel?
- Skidded because you were going too fast?
We are not nearly as good at driving as we like to think. We make our little mistakes and other people prevent them becoming crashes, as we avoid their mistakes daily.
Because we are in metal boxes, we feel safer to make those mistakes, knowing nothing terrible usually happens apart from perhaps a dent or scrape. But if a driver hits a rider, you still get your dent, but the rider is in trouble.
