Frequently Asked Questions
How can drivers lower the chance of hitting someone on an e-bike or on foot?
Slowing down near intersections and driveways, checking twice before turning, and staying alert in residential areas where children may be riding bikes can help drivers spot pedestrians and cyclists sooner.
What injuries are common when a vehicle strikes a pedestrian or e-bike rider?
These collisions frequently cause broken bones, head injuries, and road rash, with severity usually tied to the vehicle's speed at impact.
What usually causes vehicle versus pedestrian or e-bike crashes?
Common factors include limited visibility, a driver or rider failing to yield at an intersection, and drivers turning without fully checking for people crossing or riding nearby.
Does vehicle speed change the outcome for a pedestrian or e-bike rider?
Yes. Lower speeds give drivers more time to stop and reduce the force of impact, which generally lowers the risk of serious injury or death.
