Why drivers don't always see you.
 

I am always amazed why drivers seem to fail to see you at junctions. This is an interesting article which explains it.

Really good read! So in essence evolution screwed us over?

No, god really doesn't like motorcyclists. Ever since Moses came down the mount in his Triumph rather than on it things haven't been looking good for us.

More evidence against an omnipotent god.

That's a really interesting report by John Sullivan (click on the dropbox link in the Londoncyclists article).

these is one other consideration. good drivers see more as they are using less concentration on the actual control of the vehicle.

I'd also add my belief that being a cyclists helps to improve my motorcycle skills and vice versa. I learned instinctively a long time ago on the bicycle to head towards the middle of the road when coming to junctions. And being a motorcyclist has made me a more confident cyclist in traffic, especially with trying to read the intentions of other drivers. I also always tend to look more than once for any change in direction or lane. Had a look back at my helmet cam footage and it almost looks frenetic at times. This type of analysis in the article really needs more publicity though.
