More than half of all road traffic deaths are among vulnerable road users: pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. A pedestrian accident is when a vehicle strikes a person who is not in a car. And as a driver of a vehicle or a pedestrian, cyclist, or motorcyclist, taking a few extra seconds to take caution and awareness of your surroundings could mean the difference between life and death. Some causes of pedestrian accidents are out of your control, but there are many ways to avoid harm. Watch out for these four leading causes of pedestrian accidents.

Bicycle safety remains crucial for all bikers, especially those who use bicycles for any type of commute. While bike lanes are becoming more prevalent, most roads do not have designated space for bikers. This means that bicycles share the road with cars, and this can be very dangerous.

To prevent accidents, cyclists need to know how to protect themselves while riding. In many ways, bicycle riders deal with the short side of the stick because neither pedestrians nor cars really respect cyclists.
