Default No wonder some drivers can't see cyclists

....and obviously why they they can't see their lights either.

The barrier shows the level - follow his eye line over the steering
wheel. He's even having to lift his head. Another clue is that his hands are
at shoulder level. It's possible to try that in a chair and imagine that
half the steering wheel is still above that.

Not an isolated view; there were several other similar shots in that car as
well as shots in other cars in other programs. Also not unique to him; I
have noticed that my sister sets things in her Discovery such that she can't
see out properly.Amazing.

Maybe they just don't care if they kill cyclists. The motorists on here
certainly don't.

Perhaps you should do the "cyclist thing" next time you see her driving....
kick her car, verbally abuse and threaten her, spit through her window and
punch her in the face before furiously pedalling away. Make sure it's her
though, not a fella who might get out & slap you back... Then grass her up
to the Old Bill and put half of the video on YouTube.

Now you know that such behaviour is rare, so why pretend otherwise?

Default behaviour for psycholists. They have serious mental health problems,
as you constantly demonstrate.

Discoverys are of a class of vehicle that deserve to be kicked merely for
existing. Or better still, to be under a large block of concrete dropped
from height.

Along with bicycles and their inadequate and lawless riders.

And there we have the mindset of a psycholist, proving that what has been
said about them is all true.

What a shame you are so poor/strange you can't afford one.

Dave - Cyclists VOR. "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a
legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a
vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster
University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking
and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail
to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their
lives, certainly on a regular basis."
