Car/Bicycle Collisions
As an automobile driver, there are myriad hazards that you have to constantly watch out for in order to avoid a serious collision. One of the most important things to be on the look out for, and one of the trickiest things to deal with, are bicyclists.
Failing to be aware of the presence of bicyclists on the road can lead to death and serious injury of both bicyclists and drivers.

Avoiding Bicycle/Car Accidents
One thing that makes dealing with bicyclists as a car driver so difficult is that you cannot easily interpret a cyclist’s next move. Bicyclists often fail to abide by traffic laws and will often run stop signs, run red lights, and fail to use hand signals to let other drivers know which way they are turning.
But, despite the fact that a bicyclist may not be following the law, as a driver, you are the one who is responsible for cyclists’ safety and the safety of yourself. Keep these things in mind when driving near bicyclists:
- Always keep a safe distance between your car and a bicycle
- Never tailgate a bicyclist
- Be ready to maneuver around a bicyclist who fails to abide by traffic laws
Since bicycles and cars must share the road, it should be done as safely as possible.
