There is no excuse for not seeing it. Actually, I think the driver DIDN'T see the cycle track because he wasn't looking at the road - he was looking at his phone, like we all see drivers doing around us every day. If a cyclist or possibly even a pedestrian had been in the wrong place at the wrong time, someone could have been seriously hurt. I did two trips outside of Dublin over the past month, and using phones at the wheel seems to be even worse - even on motorways, travelling at motorway speeds, there were drivers tapping their phones and holding phones to their ears for calls. There were tractor drivers and heavy truck drivers on their phones, along with lots of car drivers. It's a big problem. But that's just my guess, and I could be wrong. Maybe he 'misjudged' it as you say, which is pretty piss-poor driving too in my book.

AndrewJRenko wrote: » Not quite relevant to the original discussion, but I'm not sure I see what the problem is. If the cyclist is there, you're have to find a safe space to overtake, regardless of whether there is an advisory cycle lane present or not.

Anyone who has difficulty seeing this bike lane has no business being behind the wheel, responsible for a couple of tonnes of metal. If the sun is a problem, stop driving until you fix it with sunglasses or whatever. This is what happens when you drive blindly.https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-40861314
