How Accidents Occur

Like many road accidents, bicycle accidents can commonly be prevented if more attention is paid to the people they share the road with in Toledo. According to the NHTSA, bicycle accidents are most likely to happen in an urban area without an intersection between 4 and 8 pm.  Many safety advances have been made to reduce the possibility of bike accidents including bike lanes and bike mirrors to be able to see the traffic surrounding.

Unfortunately, even with the safety precautions, bicycle accidents still happen. Below are common causes of bike accidents that are caused by motorists:

  • Failure to yield
  • Not leaving enough space when passing
  • Turning directly in front of cyclist
  • Speeding
  • Opening door in cyclist’s path
