Examples of Negligence That Can Lead to an Accident
If a motorist commits a traffic violation or drives in a reckless manner that leads to a collision with a bicyclist, they may be held accountable for causing the crash. All drivers take on a duty of care when getting behind the wheel. When sharing the road in Arizona, drivers must treat bicyclists the same way they would any other vehicle. This includes maintaining a certain distance from the bicyclist and being vigilant for riders while on the road.
Some examples of actions that can cause an accident between a bicyclist and a motorist can include:
- Pulling into traffic: Where a driver does not closely check the roadway before entering an intersection, hitting a bicyclist.
- Turning into a cyclist: Where the driver makes a left or right turn at an intersection, causing a collision with a bicyclist who has the right of way.
- Driving in a marked bike lane: Where the driver veers into a lane marked for bicycles only, causing an accident.
- Driving recklessly: Where the vehicle driver may be speeding or swerving near a bicyclist, causing the rider to lose control and crash.
- Driving under the influence: Where the driver may be under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or fatigue, leading to an accident.
- Distracted driving: Where the driver may be distracted texting (which is illegal in Arizona), eating, or performing other actions while driving.
