Still...the take down of LAB survey methodology is pretty damning. I also did not realize that FARS overtaking data includes many accident scenarios that would not be viewed as overtaking by most cyclists.
Just what is "overtaking" if not nearly any situation when the cyclist, maintaining a steady position on the roadway, is taken down by a motorist from behind... be it directly or in a sideswipe situation.
