Safe Motorists and cyclists both have a right to use Britain's roads - a right to safe and enjoyable travel. Both share a responsibility to understand each other's needs - and to respond positively. Rain, wind and poor visilibity make conditions worse for cyclists.
Cyclists can feel threatened by inconsiderate driving.
They have a right to space on the road and need extra room at junctions and roundabouts where cars change speed, position and direction. Cyclists can be forced into faster traffic - by vehicles parked in cycle lanes, at junctions or on double yellow lines. Cyclists are dazzled by full-beam headlights, like everyone else. Cyclists can be fast movers - 20mph or more. What motorists can do Think bike.
