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.

Re: Why drivers don't always see you
That's a really interesting report by John Sullivan (click on the dropbox link in the Londoncyclists article).

Re: Why drivers don't always see you
these is one other consideration. good drivers see more as they are using less concentration on the actual control of the vehicle.

Re: Why drivers don't always see you
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.
