Do cycles have some sort of tag (like an 'L' sign), which helps identify such cyclists?
- skepticaldrunk 9y agoThey usually have a kid on them.
- the_common_man 9y ago14 years can be really hard to distinguish from 16 or even 18 year olds.
- tasuki 9y agoThey don't. In the Netherlands, drivers are supposed to watch out for cyclists.
- antisthenes 9y agoThe question here is: Does the presence of the sign make you behave differently when you're the car driver? Will you be more aggressive and/or reckless if they cyclist doesn't have the tag ? If the answers to both are no, which they should be, then one wonders the need of a sign to begin with, no?
- the_common_man 9y agoThe OC says "Drivers should expect younger cyclists to behave unexpected". I don't expect normal cyclists to do 'random' unexpected things. But when I see a 'L' board, I am just more aware. This works exactly like street signs asking how to tread with extra care.
- gmiller123456 9y ago>Does the presence of the sign make you behave differently when you're the car driver? Yes. When a car passes a cyclist they should leave enough room to pass safely assuming the cyclist continues in a straight line (unless they signal otherwise). A kid may suddenly try to turn left from the right side of the street, meaning they should be given more room and the car should reduce their speed.
