A Scary and Revealing Video on Blindspots

Check out this youtube video on Lorry Blindspots:


Scary stuff.

Drivers: this is one key reason cyclists often take the lane. It's way to easy for a cyclist to get lost in a blindspot, even with cars rather than lorries/trucks. And when you are merging or turning, indicate early, and triple check the blindspot.

Cyclists: be aware of blindspots for drivers, and avoid them. Far better off to have to wait a few seconds rather than put yourself in a risky position.

Thanx to Jo for flagging the vid. If anyone else sees something that will help cyclist safety, please shoot me a message.
