How often does a driver in a car making a right hand turn on a red or at a stop sign look to their right before turning? In my experinece not very often to never. On my old commute there was a seperated bike path that on my way in would put you out at the cross walk on the wrong side of the road at two different intersections. Even if I had the green I had to stop every time becaue I almost got hit so many times. The cars would roll right through the intersection blocking the whole cross walk before making their stop, the whole time their head turned looking left into oncomming traffic waiting for a break. I also almost hit a kid a couple of weeks ago driving my daughter to school. I pulled to the stop sign at the end of my street, did the left, right, left look and never saw him. I pulled out right in front of him and he barely stopped in time to avoid my back door. I'm talking inches. I got out to make sure he was ok, he was only 8-9, and explain to him why he shouldn't ride on the wrong side of the road. As a full time bike commuter I make an effort try to be overly aware of bikes and I flat out didn't see this kid until it was way too late. I think part of the reason I didn't see him was because he shouldn't have been there so for whatever reason my eyes and brain didn't put it together. As a driver you look to the right for pedestrians that are at the intersection, not 30-40 feet up the road coming at you at 15-20 mph.
