What Should Cyclists Know About Hit-and-Run Crashes?
Hit-and-run crashes involving bicycles can create added challenges because the driver may leave before information is exchanged. Details such as the vehicle’s color, make, model, license plate, and direction of travel can help establish what happened when available.
Cyclists can improve their visibility by using lights and reflective equipment, particularly during periods of reduced daylight. Wearing a properly fitted helmet can also reduce the risk of certain head injuries.
Drivers should give bicyclists adequate space when passing and check carefully before turning or changing lanes. Staying alert can help reduce the chance of a dangerous encounter between vehicles and bicycles.
