Comments on: Youngsters on Sidewalks – Beware the Driveways http://www.mississaugacycling.ca/youngsters-on-sidewalks-beware-the-driveways-1336.htm making the journey as rewarding as the destination Thu, 08 Jul 2010 12:52:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Stefan P http://www.mississaugacycling.ca/youngsters-on-sidewalks-beware-the-driveways-1336.htm/comment-page-1#comment-4632 Stefan P Wed, 30 Jun 2010 17:25:46 +0000 http://www.mississaugacycling.ca/?p=1336#comment-4632 Great comments... good advices... I am driving my bycicle to work every day (60km a day) and had seen many careless drivers almost every day. Rushing from one place to another I think is the worst behaviour when driving. I can say though it is not only the car drivers but also the byciclists that should follow the rules of the road and not rush. I have seen many byciclists going through red lights, squeezing through the cars, crossing across everywhere possible and speeding unnecessarily assuming that everybody else must take care of them but themselves... I think though if everybody would use a bike on the road first before driving a car then for sure the car drivers would pay a lot more attention to the cyclists.

When a bicycle rider is struck badly by right turning car while the bicycle rider was riding bicycle when the pedestrian cross light was on yet the car driver was not charged by Peel Police 11th Division. A case of very clear right of way. The same road Ellora drive where accident took place has a board at the point of entry "Think of Us" intended to alert drivers who live in the same area. Some more actions are required and better policing too. Yes I like backing up and parking in reverse whereever I feel that there may be a hazard. It is really worry free to get on with work after the work is done. 1 comment on careless driving causing not only collision but two bones fractured because driver did not stop even after impact with bicycle and caused the bicycle riders leg to wedge between the car side and the bicycle stuck at the curbside.

It really does let me get an excellent view of pedestrians and cyclists when I'm pulling out. Great advice! I’ve tried backing into my driveway spot ever since this article was posted.
