When I passed my driving test in West Berlin in the 70's, we were always taught to look over our right shoulder when turning, in case a cyclist was in your blind spot - neither of my kids were taught this in the UK.

Whilst some cyclists can be a PITA weaving in and out, we car-drivers have to bear in mind we can do a lot more damage to them than they can to us in the event of a collision.


and what of the damage done to one's car by these irresponsible uninsured prats .
