Many drivers don’t realize that bicyclists have all the same rights to the road that cars and trucks have. The Tennessee Comprehensive Driver’s License Manual states that a driver passing a bicycle should stay at least 3 feet away from the bicycle while passing. It is the law in Tennessee! The Manual also says that a driver should never attempt to pass between a bicycle and an oncoming vehicle on a two-lane road.
If you have been hurt in a Tennessee bicycle accident, here are a few things to note.
- Get help from a medical doctor if you are hurting.
- Take pictures of the automobile accident scene.
- Don’t give any statements to car insurance companies about how the bicycle accident happened or your injuries.
- Check for video footage of the bicycle accident at any businesses that are near the bicycle accident scene.
