Sharing the Road

When operating a vehicle, it is a driver’s responsibility to look out for pedestrians and cyclists. Because colliding with a vehicle would be serious, if not fatal, for a pedestrian or cyclist, it is important that drivers share the road responsibly. Unfortunately, however, many drivers behave aggressively or recklessly, with blatant disregard for the wellbeing of others.

If you or someone you love has been the victim of a reckless or negligent driver, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your losses.

What Not to Do

In order to avoid collisions, all persons who utilize the road must be conscientious and respectful of one another. Because of their vulnerability, bicyclists and cyclists should be pre-occupied with their own safety and well being; however, drivers need to consider others’ safety, as well. The National Highway Traffic Safety Commission reports that approximately 700 cyclists are killed in collisions with cars each year, making up 2% of all traffic fatalities. Common complaints from cyclists about motorists include:

• Aggressively passing cyclists
• Passing too closely
• Failing to yield right-of-way
• Parking in bicycle lanes
• Opening car doors into cyclists
• Yelling profanities

If motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians work together, the roads can be a safer place for all.
