In this video, we examine the two common types of right hook: 1) when a motorist passes a bicyclist and turns right; 2) when a bicyclist rides into the blind spot of a motorist who is turning right. As with most crashes, a right hook can be prevented by one party regardless of error or legal fault on the part of the other. We show how either the bicyclist or the motorist can prevent this conflict.

We talk about visibility a lot. Being visible to others—being in their primary focus area—is important, but it still relies on the other drivers to be paying attention. This time I want to talk about vantage — that’s us in control of recognizing and monitoring threats.

There are 3 common themes that repeat over and over in reports of serious crashes. They are preventable circumstances where the cyclist was simply unaware of specific dangers that are well known to those of us who study crashes.
