This happened to me too. I hit a woman on a bike, because she unfortunately kept behind a pillar. Now when turning I always rock my torso sideways to and fro to increase the view angle. I feel stupid doing this but I think I avoided one or two more accidents this way.
- antisthenes 7y agoPart of the fault lies with the absolutely awful biking infrastructure in the US. Bikers are told to share the road with vehicles even in places where it makes absolutely no sense and drivers are going at 2x-3x speed of the bike and there are no bike lane demarcations whatsoever. Newsflash for you (if any politicians are reading this) - painting a small icon of a bike on the side of the road without any physical separation IS NOT a sufficient safety feature for a "bike lane".
- brokenmachine 7y agoAustralia has the same "infrastructure". When I'm riding, they always remind me more of chalk outlines around the dead than an actual safety feature.
- smileysteve 7y ago> because she unfortunately kept behind a pillar Your wording seems to blame a slower vehicle being passed for not being passed before the passing vehicle crossed the slower vehicle's lane.
- _nalply 7y agoSorry, I didn't mean to. It's my fault.
- InitialLastName 7y ago> I feel stupid doing this You shouldn't. You're doing the bare minimum to operate a modern vehicle safely.
