#SMIDSY - sorry mate I didn'ty see you
Institut für Zweiradsicherheit🏍️ „Sorry Mate, I Didn’t See You.“
In der Unfallforschung spricht man von SMIDSY-Kollisionen – Situationen, in denen Motorräder von anderen Verkehrsteilnehmenden übersehen werden.
📊 Bei rund 60–70 % der Pkw-Motorrad-Kollisionen wird der Pkw als Hauptverursacher geführt.
👀 Sichtbarkeit bleibt ein entscheidender Sicherheitsfaktor.

Russ O@CTD ah the good old #SMIDSY. Been in exactly that position and ended up on my arse in the road (fortunately very little harm to me or the bike, but a big scratch on his brand new car 😀). Didn't look round his "A" pillar more like.
This is a really good read, for drivers and cyclists: https://www.londoncyclist.co.uk/raf-pilot-teach-cyclists/
What an RAF pilot can teach us about being safe on the road
“Sorry mate, I didn’t see you”. Is a catchphrase used by drivers up and down the country. Is this a driver being careless and dangerous or did the driver genuinely not see you?
