Home Safety Tips For Motorists Don't Crowd the Right
Don't Crowd the Right

Watch your right! Cyclists usually ride to the right of cars in traffic. When you drive to the right of the lane you risk squeezing a cyclist into a parked car or a ditch--or clipping them with the big side mirrors that so many SUVs have.

When approaching an intersection where you intend to turn right,k shoulder check to make sure a cyclist is not there before moving to the right. Many drivers will just drift to the right as they anticipate a turn up the road, creating danger and barriers for cyclists riding in that spot.
