Frequently Asked Questions
Where do most car-bicycle collisions happen?
Many occur at intersections, driveways, or along roadways where cyclists and vehicles share a lane, particularly where visibility is limited or turning traffic crosses a bike's path.
What is "dooring" and why is it dangerous?
Dooring happens when someone in a parked car opens their door into the path of an oncoming cyclist, usually giving the rider little time to react or swerve safely.
How can cyclists stay safer in traffic?
Riding predictably, using lights and reflective gear, staying visible to drivers at intersections, and avoiding blind spots near larger vehicles can all help reduce risk.
What should a cyclist do after a crash with a car?
Move to safety if possible, call 911 to report the crash, seek medical evaluation even for injuries that seem minor, and get the names and contact information of any witnesses.
What to Do After a Bicycle Crash in Glen Gardner Borough, NJ
Anyone involved in a bicycle collision should seek medical attention right away, even if injuries seem minor at first. Adrenaline can mask pain, and injuries to joints like the arm or shoulder sometimes aren't obvious until hours later. It's also important to file a police report and keep a copy for your records, along with photos of the scene if it's safe to take them. Reach out to witnesses before they leave, and follow up with your own doctor in the days after the crash to make sure nothing was missed. Taking these steps early can make a real difference in both recovery and any later insurance claims.
