I then have to use the roads with my power chair. I have been almost hit several times and it’s only when I’m going to get struck. 25 th is the worse.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798596265616312565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-18311931892901018422018-09-07T09:37:14.487-07:002018-09-07T09:37:14.487-07:00Hey Anonymous, are there any basics that cyclists ...Hey Anonymous, are there any basics that cyclists are supposed to follow?

For instance - that white line across the front of the lane at the intersection is for you to stop BEHIND, not over. Stopping BEHIND the line lets cars turning in front of you have room in the intersection to turn in front of you. It leaves space for pedestrians to use the crosswalk and not have to go out into traffic. (Odds are pretty good you will still get through the light when it changes to green even if you have stopped behind the line). When two lanes are turning left, you are expected to STAY in your own lane all the way through the lane. After you master those, we can move on to the more difficult (??) driving tasks, like stopping for red lights, checking for other cars before changing lanes, slowing down when the car in front of you is stopped and so on.
