Think Bike – Jimmy Hill

A tragic, needless accident.
But why did it happen?
The driver checks the traffic on his right. The road seems to be clear, and he pulls out.
But if we look again from the driver’s angle, we can see his problem.
Visibility isn’t good, but if only he’d checked again, he would have seen the motorcyclist approaching.
That car driver will be more careful next time.
For the motorcyclist, there isn’t going to be a next time.
So motorists: be particularly careful at junctions.
Think once.
Think twice.
Think bike.


Be careful out there Gents

1) Don't assume they've seen you.

2) Don't assume they're going to respect your priority.

3) Do assume they're going to pull out and ride accordingly.

Not how it should be, but how it is
