Where do they occur? From MAIDS report:  75% of accidents in urban areas  Half took place at an intersection  60% involved collision with a car From Hurt study  2 seconds from start to crash From RSA 2007 stats  Evening rush hour!

Why do they happen?  Observation –Vision, obstructions, distractions –Low visibility of the bike - camouflage!

Camouflage  Shape  Shine  Shadow  Silhouette  Surface  Spacing  Movement

Why do they happen?  Observation –Vision, obstructions, distractions –Low visibility of the bike - camouflage!  Perception –Expectations, rider ‘trust’  Speed –Variation from ‘average’, lights (Shaw)  Risk –Safety aids, complacency, pressures

What can we as riders do to avoid them?  Be aware – consider it may happen  Be vigilant – look out for scenarios  Be visible – shape, movement, Z-line  Be predictable – be where they look  Manage the risk – choice is yours  Plan an escape – brake, steer, jump

Recap Any questions?
