Cyclists Have a Right to the Road
Under Georgia law, bicycles are vehicles with the right to use the road, and drivers must give at least three feet when passing a cyclist.
Common Crash Causes
Drivers turning across a bike lane, opening doors into cyclists, and failing to yield at intersections cause many Georgia bicycle crashes.
Severe Injuries
With little protection, cyclists often suffer fractures, head injuries, and road rash even in low-speed impacts.
Overcoming Bias
Insurers may blame the cyclist. Helmet use, scene photos, and witnesses help establish the driver's fault under Georgia's comparative-negligence rule.
