COASTING THROUGH
Q: At an intersection, an automobile collided with my bike. There was
a stop sign in each direction. I have to admit that I slowed my bike but did not
come to a complete stop. The car was approaching the intersection and
slowing down. Seeing that it was slowing down, I entered the intersection and
looked straight ahead. When I was more than halfway across the intersection,
I was T-boned by the car.
The driver says that I should have stopped and yielded the right-ofway.
He says that that his car came to a stop, he looked both ways and, not
seeing any approaching vehicles, he drove into the intersection. According to
the driver, he did not see me until our collision, when he was halfway across
the intersection.
A: In general, a person riding a bicycle on a roadway is granted the
rights, and is subject to the duties, applicable to a car driver. A driver who has
the right-of-way is entitled to anticipate you will obey traffic laws requiring
you to yield.
On the other hand, a driver is negligent when failing to see what she
or he should have seen through proper use of her or his senses. That is: a
driver traveling with the right of way may be found to have contributed to the
happening of a collision if she or he did not use reasonable care to avoid it;
there can be more than one proximate cause of a collision. Definitely, consult
with an attorney.
