These kind of report make you think that drivers are an independant force of nature that the participant has to adapt and accomodate. But drivers are made up of civilized human beings too and we'd like to think they are also reasonable and adaptable to pedestrians and cyclists.

I am a member of CAA and do receive their seasonal magazine. A few years ago in their summer issue, CAA had a big section about cycling. The article had a whole bunch of pointers how to cycle carefully. I noted and wrote back to CAA the next time to include a whole bunch of pointers for motorists for what to expect from cyclists, why they have to do what they do and how to avoid any collision or confrontational situations.

I also attend many Complete Streets public consultations in Toronto. They have publications called something like safety tips for cyclists and safety tips for pedestrians. I asked one of the staff that if they knew which guide was missing? Yeah, they said they ran out of the safety guide for drivers.
