What Causes Most Bicycle Crashes?
Bicyclists are given significant rights on
Florida roadways. Drivers and bicyclists alike
need to obey the rules of the road at all times.
However, even when a bicyclist is obeying the
law, they can still get injured. Some of the main
causes of bicycle crashes include
6

• Drivers making a right turn and hitting a
  bicyclist
• Drivers striking a bicyclist as they pass them
• Drivers opening their car door in a bicyclists
  path
• Of particular danger to bicyclists are drivers
  who are impaired by alcohol or drugs and those
  who are distracted by their phones, other
  devices, or something else inside their vehicle.
  Impaired and distracted drivers tend to strike
  cyclists at higher speeds. Bicyclists are also
  more vulnerable to poorly maintained or poorly
  designed roadways.
