Frequently Asked Questions
Where do most traffic accidents happen?
Many crashes involving bikes and e-bikes occur at intersections or along busy commercial corridors, where turning vehicles and crossing traffic create conflict points with riders.
How can drivers reduce their crash risk?
Slowing down near intersections, checking mirrors and blind spots before turning, and staying alert for bikes and e-bikes sharing the road all help avoid last-second collisions.
What injuries are most common in car accidents?
E-bike and bicycle crashes often cause fractures, road rash, and head or neck injuries, since riders have little protection compared to someone inside a vehicle.
