This is part of my desire to become a League of American Bicylists LCI certified instructor. I want to use that as a way to go to these driving schools and the high school and ask to teach a section on bicycle safety.

The thing that stands out from Drivers Ed was watching those "Ohio Highway Patrol" films. The ones that showed wrecks--in graphic detail--to scare us from driving like idiots. This was 1979 or so.
Don't think we had any training on how to deal w/cyclists but Western Penna folks are generally courteous. I rode a lot as a kid & teen. My younger brother and I would go on long, long rides (my dad bought us these "English racing" 10 speed road bikes when I was 11 or so---quite an upgrade from the hand-me-down Sears banana bike I had been riding
). Drivers treated us well. That was a different time, though.
