Cyclists are particularly vulnerable to the risks of collisions with motor vehicles, especially in big city environments. Cyclists are encouraged to use the roadways and operate their bicycles as ‘vehicles’; at normal cycling velocities, they move faster than pedestrians, increasing the risk of collision with careless drivers; and yet they are relatively unprotected. When hit by cars or trucks, they are bound to be hurt, sometimes very seriously. Regrettably, the law can make it difficult for cyclists to realise full compensation for the injuries and impairments they suffer as a result of accidents with motor vehicles. Motorists’ lawyers often argue that cyclists are the authors of their own misfortune, that they ought to have been more careful of their own safety.
