Hi guys, came across this new way of looking at biker safety the other day, it makes a lot of sense although the way it's written is a bit jargonesque.

One of their simple ideas really struck a chord with me yesterday while I was out riding. They are hoping to come up with some simple phrases that trigger ideas and responses (just one of their lines of development I think) and a phrase they've come up with is cango willgo for situations where you might have a collision such as a car turning right into a sideroad as you overtake. I'm well aware of this risk and always watch for it having lost one of our group to a drugged up french driver who turned without signalling just as he was overtaking alongside a junction. As I was riding along I found myself saying in my head cango willgo whenever I was about to overtake a vehicle, just that simple couple of words have stuck in my head and might just be enough to save someone from making an error of judgement which they might or might not live to regret. If you think this looks like an interesting initiative share it with your biker buddies, the more people that know about it the more momentum it gets. I think it's still in the very early stages but I think it has great potential.
