The car, if your answer is any different stay off the roadways

Here in America with so many cars 7 or 8 feet tall bicycles simply cannot be seen. If you ride you cannot be complacent and just assume you have the right of way. Legally you may be right but if you are flat no lawyer can make you wealthy. I personally feel bike lanes give cyclists a false sense of security. I have seen riders go straight while a car is halfway thru a right turn. It is not pretty. I quit riding on roads because I like my life. I'll do it if my car is down but otherwise no. I carry my bike to approved riding areas where cars won't be.

Who has the right of way??? I do not know. The answer is "It depends"... I know who wins the battle!!!!!

if over 80% of cyclists wouldnt be clueless idiots, who know 0% of road rules, there would be 0 fatalities.

This is meaningless gibberish, fix the roads in north america then we will have less collisions. Anyone who doesn't care won't listen. It would have been better to do an instructional video for those that do and again that is just for those who care.

Copenhagen left Gotta try that

Bikes should be required to Stop at Every Intersection. I say that, because 98% of the Bastards don't have Lights, Reflectors, Wear very Dark Clothing, and are Impossible to see at night, Yet of one those Invisible F*ckers comes flying past me on my Right when I am turning, somehow it is My Fault. Jesus F*cking Christ

This doesn't work in the real world. Just learned that in California the driver must merge in to the bike lane to turn right. Much safer when the vehicle already is in front. The assumption seems to be that the car is moving faster when many times it's the cyclist hitting the vehicle not the other way around.

All of the issues that are brought up in this video are easily eliminated with simple design changes that have already been designed and tested in the Netherlands and Scandinavia. Drivers and cyclists are human and will always make mistakes; no amount of training will eliminate that. No one, in the moment, is going to remember or consider the difference between solid and dotted bike lane paint, and in any event the paint fades and cracks before they repaint it. But if you add traffic calming and bike-friendly infrastructure to roads and intersections it will eliminate this issue and vastly improve the safety of cyclists and pedestrians. Oslo, Norway for example, a city of 630,000, made such changes and had 0 pedestrian deaths in 2019. Memphis, Tennessee has a similar population and they had 43 deaths that year (83 in 2020!).

Almost got naild by a cyclists today. Had my signal on stopped at the stop sign, I looked both ways. cyclist at full speed didn't stop.

When turning right in CA, and there's a broken line on the bike lane 2:30, do we enter on the solid line about 200 ft before the right turn or turn at the end as shown? Won't we be cutting the biker and fail it as a driving test critical error? A bit confused here

Thanks for making this video! Great content!

Remember your mom telling you not to bike in traffic?

I was turning right at a one way turn and a guy on a bike rode in front of me and I almost pulled out and hit him. I feel like he should have stopped on the side walk and waited for me to drive off as to not get run over. It scared me bad , so glad I didn't hit him.

Or installing the better Bicycles road.Like we have in the Netherlands!

For anyone curious about the ANSWER to the question, 2:30, since this dude just LOVES to hear himself talk.

It's easy common sense but a lot of ppl don't have them. Rules of the road ain't hard to learn.

These rules should be published! But no! All we get is posters like "Share the road"!

I have a honest question here. As a person who rode a bike as a kid and only a couple times here and there as an adult I’ve never once thought that bikes belong anywhere near a road. When I saw bike lanes being built in my town I thought they were the most dumb and insane thing ever. So that beings up the question of why are bike lanes put on roads instead of just expanding sidewalks by 4 feet and making side walk bike lanes? Like that just seems 100 times better of an idea to me that makes everyone happy.

bicycling is almost always a Liesure activity. most people driving have to for work. therefor bicyclists are a nuisance in our way. you really gotta ask some times how is it 1:00PM on a Thursday and you're riding your bike around for fun and getting in our way?? that's not really fair to us who are working and making deliveries etc.I mean its 1:00 on a weekday don't you have work?? you lucky SOB!!

Now, are the rules different in Canada as opposed to, say, California. In California "motorists must merge into a bicycle lane when making right turns", meaning cars can't turn over the bike lane as shown in this video. Notably, when the car is attempting to merge into the bike lane, any bikes there has the right of way. This all makes perfect sense as you are not allowed to turn over an adjacent lane, just saying, but maybe things are done differently in Canada.

2:18 for anyone who doesn't want the history of bikes and cars

I like how you just skip over at 2:40 that if a cyclist is in front of the car at an intersection the car has to wait for the cyclist to proceed before they can turn right.. EVEN AT RED LIGHT!!

I used to ride bicycle a lot, until Oct-2021, Corona virus vaccine crippled me. Back then riding bicycle on sidewalks were against the law. Now everybody doing it and hitting the walkers or screaming them to get out of the way.

They're called turn indicators not turn confirmations for a reason.

Sorry, nope. Car drivers are hostile tonthe max, they important and NEED to be first, it is the rule of 'I'm big and I'm coming through, no matter what'. Maybe abolish the 'right on red'. You really don't want to be a pedestrian with that 'automatic red so I can turn right'.

99% of the time, you can cross on the pedestrian light.

What does a pedestrain cross walk have to do with anything?

Does Denmark really handle the indirect left this complicate? In Germany you just wait at the next corner in front of the line (there is usually a designated area for this) when the intersection isn't fully separated due to missing space or a careless city. And weaving around a stationary car that couldn't do it's turn in time is a recipe for disaster.

Never the bike they didn't pay for the infrastructure through rego

I disagree on the rule that Bikes shouldn't use the sidewalk. Oppose to car, as a cyclist, you don't have a literal metal cage designed to protect you in an accident, and the infrastructure in America makes it WAY too easy for drivers to become ignorant.

Pedestrians, bicycles and then cars.

If you even visit the Netherlands with a car: bicycles always have priority, especially in this situation.

Love this video. It's 100% truth.

#Cancelbikesonroads 🤗

How are bikers jerks? The worst they can do is inconvenience a car. Cars KILL bikers.

Those turning islands at every corner where cars turn outside of it is very necessary. I still don't see it being implemented.

You know how all the issues of this video could be solved even in a car-centric city? You paint a bicycle zone before the zebra crossing where bicycles are prioritized. It costs next to nothing to do this, but then again if a city looks like the one in this video then the bigger problem is probably the politicians who double down on car-centric solutions in all decisions they do.

straight traffic has priority, how is this a question

Human beings are inherently designed to make mistakes. Expecting bikes to operate on infrastructure designed for cars is inefficient and dangerous. Implementing designs from the Netherlands would be a good place to start.

I don’t think this is some sort of both sides of equal issue thing. Cars share much more of the blame in this and it’s the car dependent infrastructure to blame that disregards anyone not in a car.

2:30 This rule is completely idiotic and endangers cyclists for no reason at all. First off, the car should always look for traffic coming from behind no matter what. This rule gives them a 'free pass' for not looking when turning, and puts the responsibility on the weak road user. The person driving the two ton machine should be responsible, especially since they are technically in the left lane making a right turn. The same rule that forces drivers to wait for pedestrians crossing should apply to waiting for bikes crossing too. Secondly, forcing cyclists to move out of the bike lane into a normal lane simply to go around a car is very dangerous. It puts the cyclist into normal motorised traffic out of the relative safety of a bike lane, endangering the cyclist. But it also increases unpredictability of the behaviour of cyclists for drivers of motorised vehicles. Drivers have to watch out for cyclists now that can enter traffic unexpectedly to move around a vehicle turning right. And creating a difference between a bike lane with an interrupted line and one with a solid line is just again creating complexity and confusion FOR NO REASON. Just choose one and apply the standard rule that the bike has priority. No confusion possible, clearer for both bikes and drivers, and less conflict possible... This rule is stupid, and only leads to MORE conflict between road users. It endangers cyclists dramatically, AND makes it more difficult for drivers to predict what a cyclist is going to do. This rule only applies in the USA and Canada btw, in most of Europe this rule doesn't apply. In Europe if a cyclist is approaching from behind on your right, and there's a bike lane, you as a driver ALWAYS have to give priority to them. If there's no bike lane you give priority unless you're already in front of them. No confusion possible. No dubious and dangerous situations. No unpredictable moves from cyclists. And no forcing cyclists into traffic. If there's no bike lane, you as a driver are considered as making an overtaking manœuvre when you pass a cyclist, so all rules apply as if you were overtaking a car. So you cannot pass a cyclist and then cut them off to turn right. And if there is a bike path, it's always continued on the intersection with paint or some sort of crossing, and then cyclists on that cycle path crossing ALWAYS have priority unless indicated otherwise by road markings and/or signs. The rule demonstrated here is incredibly dangerous, but also a result of bad infrastructure where the bike lane just stops at the intersection and bikes and cars are just dumped in an ''empty'' ''do whatever'' space... This is also a result of the stop sign culture, where there's no priority rules and everyone just is treated the same at the intersection. In Europe one of the roads would be the priority road and do the bike lane would be continuing across the intersection, and the other road would be the yielding road with yield signs and sharks teath on the ground. Even if it had stop signs, only one would have them and the other would be the priority road. And don't even get me started on the left turn. That's just... insanity. No wonder N-American roads are so dangerous.

Based on my personal experiences and observations, everybody thinks they're right, regardless of how wrong they might be.

failed my road test because i didnt shoulder check and change lanes into bike lane before turning, so maybe this changes from city to city? if there are no bikes coming you can change lanes into the bike lane and turn from it

I feel like this is something you'd watch at school. Nicely done.

AS a Dutchman...hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Unfortunately bad habits creep in. The overwhelming majority of motorists signal after they have commenced a turn rather than signalling their intent early. Even if someone makes a mistake or breaks a law, if you KNOW that is what they are going to do it can be allowed for and no collision occurs. This is not merely part of bike/car interactions. It is true for every and all interaction. Drive/ride with consideration and expect that others will do the same. I live in a rural area and the difference in courtesy between here and the city is enormous. Even though speeds are far higher so too is the safety and courtesy.

Been hit 2x on a bike: once a driver pretended to make a right turn to cut ahead of everyone else when the light turned green and another time by a car turning right across a protected bike lane. Now I just get behind them and if they're turning right, I go around their left.

Bikes but cars think they do

I can feel threatened making a left turn at an intersection where there are two vehicle left turn lane’s indicated. I will occupy the center of most right left turn lane, signalling my intention that I’m turning left. Vehicles approaching from behind me get aggressive in their effort to turn left will sometimes go around on my right to make their left turn! A Copenhagen left by bike can involve a cyclist needing to stop in a bike lane to dismount and thence walk with bike on pedestrian walkways, again remount in a busy bike lane to follow through with a original left turn. This is causing more inconvenience and danger to pedestrians and cyclists. I tried that method in France, Denmark, Canada, USA and it’s a major problem with a fully loaded bike, especially with a trailer attached. It can take 10-15 minutes just to make a left turn using that method!
