Frequently Asked Questions
Do cyclists have the same rights to the road as drivers?
Yes. In Texas and most states, bicycles are treated as vehicles under traffic law, and cyclists generally have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers, including the right to use travel lanes.
Are bicycle crashes more likely at intersections?
Many bicycle crashes happen at or near intersections and driveways, where turning or crossing vehicles may fail to see a cyclist, though crashes can also happen on open roadways, as in this case.
What injuries are most common in bicycle crashes?
Cyclists struck by vehicles frequently suffer head, chest and limb injuries, since they have little protection compared to someone inside a car. Injuries can range from minor to fatal depending on speed and impact.
What usually causes bicycle accidents?
Common causes include driver inattention, failure to yield, low visibility at night, and speeding. Investigators review physical evidence and witness accounts to determine the specific cause in each case.
