The concern I have is that the "eye contact" element is lost.
As a motorcyclist, runner, and cyclist, I can tell you that drivers will look you right in the eye as they pull out in front of you.
we make eye contact and look for acknowledgement or an indication of intent.
That behavior stands a good chance of getting one killed or hurt, especially in Seattle, the land of "oh, no, you go first..." Look at the wheels, not the eyes. The wheels don't lie.
- sleepybrett 5y agoAs a seldom bicyclist I've seen this as well. But it's gotta be a lot less frequent to see a driver make eye contact and then proceed to almost kill you versus one that yields. Even as a seldom bicyclist (and as a driver even) if I'm approaching a four-way yield if I can't get eye contact with someone else approaching the intersection I'll just yield to them by default.
