systems warn the driver when they are in 100yds of a biker. that gentle
reminder could improve our visibility</DIV>

Most police have no experience with accident reconstruction<BR>> involving
bicycles and furthermore see more cyclists ignoring<BR>> the traffic laws
than following them so why shouldn't they<BR>> assume that the cyclist was
at fault.<BR><BR>=v= I would say "misperceive" rather than "see."
Motorists<BR>ignore more laws, more serious laws, and with much more
serious<BR>consequences; but since this is the norm, the police have
taken<BR>to ignoring all but their most egregious offenses. (Most
of<BR>them are plunked behind the wheels of cars themselves.)<BR>
