Road Survival Guide, or why SMIDSYs happen.

I would imagine this has been posted before but I couldn't find it.

Definitely worth a read, particularly for learners to understand that cage drivers literally DO NOT SEE YOU!! Good to send to all your car driving friends as well

Generally they see you & don't care (particularly if you're a cyclist), or don't look to begin with, like the lorry that looked left the other day as I approached from the right, only slamming his brakes on after I hooted

For a while now I've been thinking that learning to drive should involve more than a few lessons on how to pass a simple inadequate test and should be more akin to a gcse with a national curriculum involving classroom and practical work, so when you get to taking the test you've been taught everything you need to know about motoring, not just the bare minimum. The stuff discussed in that attachment is exactly the sort of thing every driver should know about.
