Fear from the Rear****
From WikiPedalia
Fear of motor vehicles coming from behind. This leads to many bicyclists' riding timidly close to the edge of the road, and neglecting other hazards in front of them -- for example, riding too close to parked cars, using only a taillight at night, or fatalistically, no lights at all. In reality, rear-end crashes are rather rare compared with others, except on narrow, high-speed rural roads. Fear from the rear is addressed by understanding of how to communicate with motorists using hand signals and lane position, and with safety equipment including lighting at night and bright-colored clothing.
