car drivers see bikes, then forget

Very old history goes for bicycle and pedestrians too once there sitting in their comfort zone 4 wheeled box. 

As a motorcyclist rider for some 62 years or more I don't expect anyone on the road or anything on the the road to look after me, I have always looked out for myself.

Interesting thing they found about memory tho' ...

Those car drivers who saw the bike, and said "Bike" - never forgot after they scanned in a different direction

Yes, this is indeed historical stuff.

 

There used to be a safety campaign film on UK TV that went 'Think once, think twice, THINK BIKE'.

 

Been riding since 1967 and that phrase always sticks in my mind. I always assume that any other driver or rider in close proximity has NOT seen me and I behalf accordingly. It's got me out trouble quite a few times.

 

I'm glad, at least, that here in Thailand they now have an 'always on lights policy' for motorcycles. It's a good safety feature that could well have prevented a few accidents.

Yeah ???? remember that to "THINK BIKE" never worked really, as I say on a motorcycle think what you think someone might do not having not seen you.

Ride to live and everyone else.

It used to be that only larger bikes had headlight on. That was OK. Now every bike has, from chicken chasers up. So now for larger bikes it makes it worse as now motorists see a single headlight and think "Leung on a scooter going slow" I have time to pull out before they get here. Which in the case of a larger bike , they don't.

I do not agree with you at all. Far better to be seen than not seen. Period!

Well we will have to agree to disagree.

Any bike rider who depends on others to look out for them are both unsure of the situation they have put themselves in and short to this world statistically speaking.
