Following The Rules Of The Road
Drivers are supposed to follow the rules of the road and operate their vehicles safely. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen. When drivers fail to share the road safely, cyclists, and pedestrians suffer the consequences.
Behaviors and habits such as eating while driving, tending to children in the car, and distractions from electronics can lead to catastrophic accidents for bicyclists, pedestrians, and other drivers.
