Notes:
Slide 6 – Crashes, who at fault.
Most people think hit from behind (overtaking) is #1 but it is smallest slice.
About 90% are result of turning & crossing traffic.
About half of adult crashes are fault of cyclist (blue outline), wrong-way riders is #1 cause.
Making L turn form curb causes many crashes (this is taught by "bike safety")
More child crashes fault of cyclist, especially "driveway rideout" under age 8.
Note, many "motorist fault" crashes occur on sidewalk or bike lane crossing – preventable.
