Without a larger police presence, biker safety will continue to be an issue for Virginia’s cycling commuters, recreational riders and competitors, according to bicycle safety lawyer Doug Landau of Herndon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In an earlier post<\/a>, we wrote about Virginia being ranked 16th place in the nation for bike friendliness.<\/p>\n

Herndon bike accident lawyer Doug Landau believes Virginia still has a long way to go:<\/p>\n

“While bike lanes and paths through new neighborhoods take cycling and bikers’ safety into account, the unsafe habits of drivers in Northern Virginia must be addressed,” says Doug.\u00a0 “For every bumper sticker I see that says Share the Road<\/em>, I encounter a dozen motorists who subscribe to the mindset of we own the road<\/em>.\u00a0 Does any behind-the-wheel driving course cover how to safely pass a cyclist? \u00a0Does the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) exam ask about maneuvering around bicycle riders? \u00a0When is the last time you have seen a police traffic stop for a driver’s unsafe actions around cyclists that did not involve an injured biker?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you or someone you know has been injured while riding a bicycle due to the unsafe driving of motorists around you and there are questions as to what laws apply, email <\/a>or call Abrams Landau, Ltd.<\/a> at once (703-796-9555).<\/p>\n
