Drivers pulling out in front of them is one of the biggest hazards faced by cyclists.  That's what happened in the accident shown below.  Also, many cyclists are injured when a driver passes a cyclist only to make a right turn just ahead of the cyclist.

Well trained cyclists move down the road at speeds between 20 to 30 mph depending on conditions. (headwind or tailwind, slope of the road, turns, traffic, road surface, etc  When drivers don't understand that cyclists may be moving at speeds comparable to those of motor vehicles, they are more likely to make errors in judgement that result in collisions with a cyclist.

The most common errors are pulling out in the cyclist's path because they think they have time to clear the intersection before the bike gets there and underestimating the speed of a cyclist they are passing, then making a right turn directly in the cyclist's path.

Here are some cell phone pictures of a bicycle/automobile accident last night on Palm Beach.  The cyclist was moving at the speed limit (25mph) when he began braking for the collision.
