Get a bike,
Bicycles create less parking
problems.
They do not use valuable fuels
They do not pollute the
environment
Bicycling is a healthy lifestyle
Motorists tend to forget that a
bicycle
is a "legal" road vehicle with the
same
rights & responsibilities as
cardrivers
and motorbike
riders.
If a cyclist is forced to the edge
there
are added dangers due to broken
glass,rubbish,loose edges and
drainage
grates.
Give cyclists plenty of room as they
may have to swerve suddenly to
avoid
a pothole or other road hazard.
Leave at least 1 metre
clearance,when turning left or
right,indicate early to allow the
rider
to ride ahead safely.
Look out for cyclists before you
open
your cardoor - it is your fault if your
cardoor hits a cyclist.Same applies
when pulling out
from the kerb.
ADVICE TO CYCLISTS: be aware of
motorist's blind spots,around the
sides
and back of the car.

MOTORISTS from SERVICE
TASMANIA.
