Cars not noticing cyclists in their mirrors before they change lanes is the fault of the driver, not the cyclist.
Motorists should always check their mirrors before changing lanes. There could also be other cars there.
The onus is on the two ton shielded metal vehicle, not the bicycle.
- jonahx 11y agoObviously if the driver hits the cyclist, the driver is legally at fault. I am suggesting that the law anticipate the inevitable carelessness of drivers, and build in at least a small safeguard. I see no good reason not to make the cylists abide by a safe distance passing rule.
