Having seen a lot of evidence from lorry/cyclist collisions, the caveat to this is that they have to be looking in the mirror to see you. It's not enough to assume that if you can see them, they have seen you.[/quote]
I've got no evidence but here's my 2 cents (pence?). By virtue of the fact that we don't need a licence, don't need a helmet, don't need training, and also that two wheels is inherently more dangerous than four,i think on average cyclists are probably equally culpable in most road accidents. It's all very well us forumers discussing it, but remember most cyclists out there are not bike enthusiasts. There are some right fucking idiots on bikes, too.
