Bicycle Accidents in California

California roads are among the busiest in the nation, and that means more risk for bicyclists sharing space with vehicles. Thousands of cyclists are injured every year across the state, with many collisions occurring at intersections or residential streets.

Knowing the common causes of these accidents can help prevent future incidents. Here are some important points to remember:

• Failure to Yield: Many crashes happen when drivers fail to yield to cyclists at intersections or while turning. Motorists should always check for riders before making a move.
• Driver Distraction: Using a phone, adjusting the radio, or other distractions can easily take a driver’s eyes off the road, making it harder to see cyclists.
• Low Visibility: Bicycle accidents often occur at night or dusk when it’s harder for drivers to spot riders. Reflective gear and bike lights can help, but drivers must remain attentive.
• Right Hook Collisions: Drivers turning right without checking their mirrors can collide with cyclists riding alongside them in a bike lane or shoulder.
