Blind spots

This week we have been talking quite a bit about road safety, and how a cyclist might appear to other road users. I came across this useful video from the British Safety Council to demonstrate how easy it is in a larger vehicle to miss a pedestrians or cyclists on the side of a road. This demonstrates why we should never attempt to pass a larger vehicle on the inside of traffic. We might have to wait an extra few minutes and stay back from the truck/bus/tractor. Thinking of our own safety is so important.
