Common Causes of Providence Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle accidents can result in very serious injuries. Most bicyclists don’t wear any more protection than the helmet on their head, there is no buffer between the rest of your body and another vehicle. Here are some common causes or Providence bicycle accidents:
- Distracted Driving - The #1 reason for an increase in car accidents is distracted driving. Drivers commute in traffic while eating, talking on the phone, texting, and so much more. It puts the lives of those around them at risk. If a driver is not paying close attention, they may not see a bicycle in their peripheral views.
- Speeding - Many accidents are caused by speeding. This kind of reckless behavior significantly reduces a driver’s reaction time in the event of an oncoming bicyclist.
- Poor Vehicle Maintenance - If you choose to take your vehicle on public roadways, you are responsible for ensuring it remains in a good state of repair. A blown tire from a commercial truck can send a bicyclist flying.
- Driving Under The Influence - It is illegal to drive under the influence, it puts everyone at risk.
