  2. I hope you are as good as you say Raj.

    Do you tell your students always to look over their left shoulder when they turn left so that they don't miss cyclists or pedestrians crossing the road they are turning on to. You know they have right of way under Rule 72 and 73 right?

    And do you tell your students about saccadic masking and how they have to look and then look again before pulling out into traffic because they may not have seen the cyclist the first time?

    And do you tell your students that sometimes people make mistakes and they should be alive to that?

    Ride on my friend - you web-bot you!
