Bicycle Accidents
PERSONAL INJURY
Bicycle accidents are a serious issue that can result in severe personal injury and even fatalities. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2020, 938 cyclists died in crashes with motor vehicles in the United States.
This is not the only alarming number, as the statistics show that the most frequent victims of these types of accidents are kids from 10 to 14 years old.
Tips to prevent bicycle accidents
To prevent bicycle accidents, cyclists should take safety precautions such as:
Wear protective gear
Cyclists should wear a helmet and clothing made of abrasion-resistant materials to reduce the severity of injuries in case of an accident.
Follow traffic laws
Obeying traffic signals, signaling when turning or changing lanes, and avoiding distracted riding.
Stay visible
Cyclists should use lights and reflective gear to increase visibility, especially at night
Keep a safe distance
Maintain a safe following distance from other vehicles on the road, allowing enough time to react to sudden changes in traffic flow.
Stay alert
Cyclists should be aware of their surroundings and anticipate potential hazards on the road, such as potholes, debris, or other drivers’ actions.
