So having looked at the topic initially - let's hear from the "board"
For our average drivers – maximum surveillance covers the immediate lane and traffic conditions and the cyclist has to be aware of this zone. And most of us position our cars centrally in the marked lanes.
But let's see how much folks know and discuss how all this affects road safety for all. All of this relates to road positioning and a cyclists's road position impacts on another road user just as that adopted by a driver.
[list]
1. What do you understand by standard riding positions? Primary Riding Positions and Secondary riding positions?
2. Why
would I suggest that some busy roads might require the secondary position to be maintained for longer periods?
3. Why
would I suggest the primary position on narrow and windy roads? Especially tight left hand bends?
4. Why would I suggest the secondary position for a right hand curve?
However, I would remind cyclists that consideration means assisting an overtake and perhaps a move to single file or slight adjust to road positioning can help prevent a dangerous overtake which places all in danger.
5. What do I mean by Forward Clearance? And how does these affect blind spots for you as cyclist and a lorry driver or car driver? Which would be the best riding position to adopt if you find yourself behind a large lorry?
Please try and think COAST in your answrs!
