I was hit in a bike lane once. The all too common: "OMG I'm sorry. I never saw you!" statement was the first thing I heard from the driver.
The way I was trained as a driver didn't prepare me at all for dealing with bike lanes either. Of course that was 30 years ago.
The question is more like: "I wonder how many will not get hooked?"
I do recall back in Driver's Ed, the course did cover basic like bike lanes and there were even cyclist in those simulators in Driver's Training. That was back in the Stone Age. Now with all the cutback and such, I don't think many school has those anymore, or do they?
