Hi all,
I read this (attached) really interesting article in the IAM's Advanced driving about why we as drivers, riders or pedestrians simply don't see things, bikes in particular. Useful information for you to add to your armoury next time you approach a junction.
And it's written by an RAF pilot!
Ride safe.
Flow.
