Common Causes of Bike Accidents

Since bicyclists are at an increased risk of injury in an accident, it is important to understand the main causes of these incidents. Even the most safety-conscious bicyclists can be involved in a bike accident. These accidents are often the result of negligence on the part of the motor vehicle owner. Some of the most common factors that contribute to a bike accident are:

  • Distracted driving
  • Driving while intoxicated
  • Failing to leave enough space for cyclists
  • Reckless driving
  • Changing lanes without checking for cyclists
  • Turning without looking in both directions
  • Ignoring traffic control devices
  • Failing to yield
  • Fatigue (driving without enough sleep)
  • Carelessly drifting into the bike lane
  • Not sharing the road
