If you spend a lot of time on modern Saint Louis roads, then you may have noticed that the number of local bicyclists is increasing. As a responsible commuter, learning to share local roads with these individuals is of great importance. As bicycles move slower than cars, there are some key steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of causing an injurious accident with them.
The easiest step is to simply look for potential bicyclists around you. This is true not only when your vehicle is moving but also when you need to open your doors.
Another step you can take is to driver slowly around bicyclists, especially if they are children. Child bicyclists may do unpredictable things and require extra caution. Another tip that Autohaus BMW has for local drivers is to leave several feet between your car and a cyclist if you need to pass one of them.
