Safe drivers often keep their eyes out for pedestrians and even other vehicles. With so many more people taking up bicycling for both exercise and commuting, drivers need to be aware of cyclists. Sharing the road requires being both more responsible and following a few basic steps that might avoid a regrettable mishap.
Drive slowly and deliberately in areas known for their bicyclists. A driver can’t always predict what someone else does, so operating a vehicle with care may cut down on the chance of an accident. Utilize even more care when making a turn, especially a left turn.
Avoiding bike lanes could further reduce the chances of an accident. Drivers might drift into the lane when distracted, though. Be careful when opening doors when parked in Mendota, IL. A bicyclist might crash into a door that flies open.
Properly maintaining a car helps the cause, too. Schimmer Chevrolet Buick Inc. wants drivers to know its service center is taking appointments.
