Right of way
It's a fact: More bikes are on the road. To minimize accidents, drivers need to be aware of them and act safely. Some tips:
Give them space: Recognize that bicycles have a right to the road and may legally take the full lane. Allow at least 3 feet of space while passing.
Respect their speed: Do not underestimate how fast some cyclists are moving. In many circumstances, a bike can travel as fast as a car. Never turn in front of a bicycle, even if you think it's traveling slowly.
When in doubt, wait: If you can't allow the bike 3 feet of space, wait to pass until you can -- just as you would for any other slow-moving vehicle.
Be patient: Do not honk or yell at bicyclists. You could startle them or cause them to veer.
Be careful when opening your car door: When parked along roadways, look for bicyclists before opening your door, as a cyclist may be hugging the side of the road, right in the line of your car door. Open your car door into a rider's path and you may cause a serious accident.
Look for bikes: Keep an eye out for cyclists, and always look both ways before exiting a driveway or intersection.
Este blog lo empece con la idea de llevar una bitacora de los ultimos dias de la central DMS donde he trabajado pero posteriormente la fui cambiando hacia las areas de mi interes laboral y familiar
