Cycling Safety is Important for Bicyclists and Auto Drivers Alike

Recently, The Washington Post writer Robert Thomson wrote an article about the importance of drivers sharing the streets with bicyclists. While this is certainly valuable information in and around D.C., it is at least as necessary to remember in Los Angeles - one of the largest and most congested cities in the country.

"A cyclist doesn't see the roadway the same way a driver does," reminds Thomson. "A small rut that's a minor inconvenience for a driver is a potential wreck for a cyclist." For this reason, and many others, it is important for drivers to be mindful of cyclists with whom they share the road - particularly in the warm, sunny summer months, when more people than ever will want to avoid traffic and enjoy the weather on their bicycles.

Acclaimed motorcycle accident lawyer Cameron Yadidi Brock reminds Los Angelenos to watch for cyclists when making right or left turns, and to check for bicyclists along the edge of the traffic lane before opening car doors so as not to cause a collision when exiting the vehicle.
