Good find Kev.

Does make a lot of sense when you think about it. Perhaps we do place too much demands and expect too much from our senses in the modern world.

Just look at the damage we are doing to our ears subjecting them to excessive noise levels from personal music players. Our ears are not designed to withstand such high decibel noise levels. I can vouch for that.

Very good thanks


Apparently women have better peripheral vision than men. Mens eyes are designed more for hunting and pin point accuracy than womens whose are designed to scan the area for threats to them and the kids.
So in theory women should be less likely to pull out in front of a bike :-/

How unfortunate, I thought this was going to be a very interesting and educational thread. I’ll leave others to make their own judgements. :-X

Nice one Kev.
Good article.
No matter what we do as bikers to make ourselves more visable, unless drivers take the time to actually look then SMIDSY shall still happen.
