I just realized thanks to Scatterbrain that I had something up on motor riders that just hasnt been covered at all. So, I'd like to just write a few words on that topic..
Drivers in Bucharest, and most probably in the whole country are not "non-car vehicle aware".
the are many people who started riding bikes, motorcycles, scooters, etc...but the drivers here are oblivious to anything but other cars and seldomly other pedestrians. That just needs to change!
People in cars should give priority to anybody else who is driving a less protective means of transportation. They excuse "sorry, I didnt see you"....their hactic driving skills are all things that makes life for the non-car owners harmfull if not potentially deadly.
I even have a story on this one....I was coming from Snagov back to Bucharest on the bike.
As you know on the left side of the road there are smaller cities and they have a lane for getting on the main road. Quiet difficult to cross because of the heavy speedy traffic..but some manage to get from the left side of the road to the right so they can get to Bucharest. This Saturday evening, a young lady got to the right side of the road and instead of heeding priority to the ongoing traffic pulled the wheel towards the right cut me off and pushed me to the ground.
I fell on my back and i wasnt badly hurt but the bike stopped on its side a few meters further.
The lady proceeded from the second lane to the first that's when she hit me, and then got scared and return on the second lane and cut off my riding buddy. he also fell on the side .....
Lucky us, we were riding very slow.....very very slow.......
due to the breaking and the hectic woman, two other cars got in an accident. It was rush hour.
And what was the explanation...She didnt see us. Neither of us....and besides that her husband made a huge scandal in the middle of the road. The bikes were halfway crashed; we had to wait for hours on end for the police to come and someone to come and pick the bikes up because they were too damaged to be driven back.
If you are aware there might be other non-cars, you will see them! Protect them, cause that might be your kid or your family in the near future. So yield them some priority!
