Causes Bicycle Accidents in Paducah

When you set out on an afternoon bicycle ride, you have your protective headgear, water bottle, flashing light, and possibly an observation flag. Maybe a toddler is in a bike trailer behind you. While you follow the rules, there is no guarantee that the approaching driver will. Distracted or intoxicated drivers hit hundreds of bicyclists each year in Kentucky. State statutes afford the same protections to bicyclists as are afforded to motor vehicle operators. Bicycle accidents can cause serious physical injury or death and account nationally for two percent of all motor vehicle accidents.

Kentucky recently passed a new law requiring motorists to maintain at least a three-foot distance from the outermost portion of the vehicle to the outermost portion of the bicycle. If it’s a pickup truck, the law would require a space of three feet from the outer edge of the mirror to the outer tip of the bicycle handlebar. Bicyclists can suffer from broken bones, bruises, lacerations, brain injury, spinal cord injury, or organ damage.
