When one considers the terrible behaviour of so many cyclists on the
roads (and especially on footways, etc), is it any wonder they're
even worse behind the wheel?

Cyclists Are Better Drivers Than Motorists, Finds StudyÂ* (Forbes)

It continues:

The link between cycling and safer motoring was revealed by a UK
insurance firm which offers specialist motor insurance policies for
cyclists. This analysis correlates with an earlier study which found
that cyclist-drivers tend to have faster reaction times than non-cyclists.

Nick Day of Chris Knott Insurance said an analysis of his firm's crash
data showed that cyclists make less than half the number of insurance
claims as non-cyclists.

13% of the firm’s insured drivers make at least one claim per year,
found Day, but this fell to 6% for cyclists who were insured on the
firm’s cyclist-driver policy.

Day believes cyclists tend to be more aware of their surroundings than
motorists.

But they have particular difficulty in noticing upcoming traffic lights
and pedestrian crossings, whilst signs saying "No Cyclling" are thought
to be totally invisible to the average cyclist.
