Cars & Bikes
I am a cyclist in Winston-Salem North Carolina. I do not drive. To get to my two jobs and do the things people do I either bike or get a ride. I want people to realize that I have a right just like any other vehicle to be on the road. There are situations that make it very unsafe for me and raise my ire like nothing else.
- !!!!!!!!DO NOT PASS ME ON A CURVE!!!!!!!!
- Waiting at a red light and a car goes around me to turn right:
- Please don't do this. You go around me on the left you have become a wall and is illegal and highly unsafe. You go to my right and you have the chance to run into me.
- I am a vehicle. Even though I may be smaller, I am occupying the lane and you should wait till the light turns and I have moved forward.
- Trying to pass me in the same lane when I am in the middle or left of the lane.
- I occupy that part of the road when there are obstacles on the side of the road( cars parked on the side of the road, brush and such) or I am going to be going fast enough to keep up with traffic and there is another lane beside me that you can pass me.
- Please understand that I will move back over once the obstacle is passed and it is safe for me to do so.
- Passing me in the middle of an intersection.
- Extremely unsafe.
- Wait till I get out of the intersection then pass me when it is safe.
- Coming beside me at an intersection because you can fit.
- If you are coming up to an intersection then you need to not pass me to get ahead of me. Stay behind me and wait till I go.
- Do not place your car in my sight line by coming beside me and blocking my left side vision.
