Be sure your passengers show the same courtesy to cyclists. Also check for cyclists when starting your vehicle and pulling out from the kerb. At night, cyclists can be difficult to see. Be especially careful and watch for them. Watch out for kids on bikes.
Children easily overlook the potential dangers involved in dealing with road traffic.
Motorists need to be especially careful around young cyclists. Children are small and can be unpredictable. When you see a child on a bicycle, slow down and always expect the unexpected. Keep an eye out for kids riding out from footpaths, driveways or between parked cars. Cycle paths are scenic, making them an excellent facility for roller bladers, walkers and recreational cyclists, but not always suitable for commuting.
