Frequently Asked Questions
What should a cyclist do after being hit by a car?

Are intersections a common place for bicycle crashes?
Many bicycle crashes happen at intersections and driveways, where turning or crossing vehicles may not see a cyclist in time. Crashes also occur along straight roadways where a bike and vehicle share the same lane.
