Mission District Bicycle Accident Causes
Negligent and distracted drivers
The number one cause of bicycle accidents is negligent drivers. Driving beyond the speed limit, overtaking cyclists, failing to yield the right of way, running a red light and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol are forms of driver negligence. Distracted driving is also a form of driver negligence. A distraction, such as spilling coffee, talking on the phone, looking for a dropped item or fidgeting with the radio can divert a driver’s attention away from the road and cyclists traveling on the road.
Bicycle or helmet defects
The construction of a bicycle and helmet is important to a cyclist’s safety. A defective brake, spoke, tire, handlebar or seat can lead to a devastating bicycle accident. A helmet that fails to work in an impact with a car, motorcycle, commercial truck or bus can leave a cyclist with serious head, neck or spinal cord injuries.
Road defects
Uneven road surfaces, potholes, cracks or washouts are a serious threat to cyclists whose balance is easily lost by the slightest road defect. Construction debris, loose gravel, slick substances and poorly maintained drain devices can also lead to serious bicycle accidents occurring.
