Bicycle Accidents

Sharing the Road with Bicycles

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.

When drivers fail to abide by this law, serious personal injuries can happen.
