Default Cyclists make better drivers, says new study

A recent study conducted by Frontiers Media found that cyclists
consistently make better drivers than other road users.

The study, which was conducted by Ole J. Johansson and Aslak Fhyri and
funded by the Institute of Transport Economics, found that cyclists know
the dangers of the road and that knowledge translates to their driving
behaviour, and how often they use their phone while driving.

Cyclists spend 21 per cent less time speeding than the typical drivers,
and have 14 per cent fewer hard brakes. They are also generally less
distracted than the average driver by about six per cent.

The study also found that cyclists spend less time actively texting or
using apps by six per cent, but supposedly do spend 11 per cent more
time than average with handheld calls.
