P.S. I think the employee had to change his shorts! J Jennifer Date/Time Occurred: Aug 4 2010 5:50AM Location: Dawn area Description: Incident Without Loss - On August 04, 2010, an employee was driving to work on a rural highway in the fog, before the break of dawn, when a cyclist on the highway with no bicycle lights, wearing dark clothing, was encountered. The employee just missed hitting the cyclist. Contractor Involved: No Immediate Response: Lesson Learned: Defensive driving techniques save lives. Also - if you choose to cycle on the highways or streets ALWAYS wear higher visibility clothing and have lights on your bicycle between dusk and dawn! <http://SQLEPASSP/ReportServer$EPassProd/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fILP+Re...
