I hammer something into my son's head every time we go out for a ride: in any confrontation between a bike and a car, a car always wins and fault doesn't factor at all into your safety. Vigilance, vigilance, vigilance.

Great lessons for your son. I can't tell you how many times I've seen kids (and occasionally adults) pedaling down the bike lane in the wrong direction and against traffic. Tough to see them when you're making a right turn and watching the on coming traffic looking for an opening. Not a fan when cyclists run red lights and stop signs because it's too hard to put a foot down. Riding three abreast, with one in the bike lane is a peeve, as well. Now get off my lawn.
