Takeaways:
1: Don't turn left from the right shoulder, or the right side of the lane. Look carefully behind you before you move over and take the lane.
2: 3 cyclists have died on Oregon roads this year; 3 too many but actually a surprisingly low number. That anualizes out to about 7, and is a small fraction of total highway fatalities.
