This is a great write-up from Melissa. It asks some great questions and makes you think about if we are doing enough to prove theory/practical knowledge of drivers.
My wife, Sam, was hit in a similar manner by a firefighter turning into a fire station in Hamilton (fortunately, not in the fire truck but a ute!). Similar "excuse-isms" were used, including the suggestion that her hi-vis vest actually decreased the visibility.
We're doing a Blessing of the Bikes this afternoon here in #Provincetown and unveiling a memorial plaque dedicating a bike rack to a local bike hero who passed away this winter... #BlessingOfTheBikes#BikeMonth#BikeTooter
