Motorists can get reckless and may force bicyclists into tragic accidents. These collisions may cause severe injury, and may take a bicyclists off their bike for weeks, months, or even years. For some, they may never be able to get back onto a bicycle again due to physical impairments or mental struggles. Anyone who has been in a traumatic event like a bike accident is probably going to have a hard time acting like everything is normal again. There are many ways that car drivers may be reckless, such as speeding, tailgating, failing to yield to a right of way, running stop signs or stop lights, and other dangerous behaviors. Sadly, because bicyclists do not have much external protection to deflect the force of impact, they tend to suffer the worst of the injuries in the event of an accident.
