There has been a recent flood of bicycling fatalities. Many people are not aware that a bicyclist has the same right to the road as a vehicle. Sadly, many people do not share the road with bicyclists and fail to yield to them and provide them with sufficient roadway to travel safely.
When you encounter a cyclist you should slow down and pass only when it is safe to do so; that means safe for you AND the bicyclist. If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a hit and run accident as a bicyclist, call Paul Thomson of The Thomson Law Firm today. (540) 777-4900.
The two most recent bicycle incidents involved alcohol. If you are going to drink, DON’T DRIVE. Call a friend who has not been drinking to come get you or better yet call a cab. Not only will a drunk driving conviction cost you several thousand dollars in legal fees, court costs and increased insurance premiums, it could cost you your job, or worse yet it could cost you or your victim, their life.
In the two most recent bicycling cases, both bicyclists lost their lives. Don’t drink and drive, it is that simple.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a hit and run accident involving a drunk driver, call Paul Thomson of The Thomson Law Firm today. (540) 777-4900.
