RIDING IN TRAFFIC
Trucks and buses have blind spots where the driver can’t see you, and they may need to swing wide or cut the corner when turning.
-
Ride to be seen and be predictable don’t swerve in and out of gaps.
-
Stay back if a truck or bus is turning, or may be about to turn.
-
Stop where the driver can see you.
-
In a queue, wait behind trucks and buses – it’s safer than trying to pass.
-
If in doubt, stay back and stay safe.
-
Choose safe routes.
