Frequently Asked Questions
What is "dooring" and why is it dangerous?
Dooring happens when a driver or passenger opens a car door into the path of an oncoming cyclist, usually without checking first. It can throw a rider into traffic with little warning, and it's a common cause of bike injuries in areas with on-street parking.
How can cyclists stay safer in traffic?
Riding predictably, using lights and reflective gear, staying out of drivers' blind spots, and following the same signals and right-of-way rules as vehicles all help reduce risk at intersections like the one in this report.
What should a cyclist do after a crash with a car?
Stay as still as possible until checked by medical responders, even if injuries seem minor, since some take time to show symptoms. Get names and contact information if possible, and make sure a police report is filed.
Do cyclists have the same road rights as drivers?
In New York, as in most states, cyclists are generally entitled to the same rights and subject to the same responsibilities as drivers, including obeying traffic signals and riding with the flow of traffic.
What to Do After a Bicycle Crash in Kenmore, NY
Anyone involved in or witnessing a bicycle collision in Kenmore should first make sure the injured rider isn't moved unnecessarily and that emergency responders are on the way. Even when injuries look minor at first, a prompt medical evaluation is worth doing, since adrenaline can mask pain from head, neck, or soft tissue injuries. Once everyone is safe, exchanging information with the driver and getting the names of any witnesses can make it easier to piece together what happened later. Filing a police report, and keeping any paperwork from the responding department, gives both the cyclist and the driver an official record to rely on going forward.
