Much attention is therefore paid to the theory of traffic. “Every month there is a theory day, where we deal with specific bottlenecks in the area, such as the infamous intersection in Doorn.” Last October 27-year-old Nezara Raasoli was killed at that intersection. She was run over by a turning truck that had not seen her. Nezara and Willy were one of the instructors during the cycling lessons at the asylum seekers’ center. It was a fatal accident, because Nezara was a very good cyclist. “We now deal with this intersection specifically on the basis of an instruction video. Then the students immediately recognize the location, because it is one of the first intersections they encounter when they set out on their own. You have priority as a cyclist when the green light is given, but it’s very obscure.”
Willy gives cycling lessons to refugees: ‘It is a first step for them to be more free’
