Safety Council News

Most bike riders in accidents
with motor vehicles are violating
traffic laws, the Delaware Safety
Council declared in an appeal to
parents to teach their children the
traffic laws.
in four out of five accidents, the
bicycle rider is violating a law"
the Delaware Safety Council de-
clared, basing the statement on a
study made by the National Safety
Council of the circumstances of
bike accidents in the United States.
Forty-two states took part in the
study, and provided this informa-
ton:
1. Between 40O-50O bike riders
are killed each year in accidents
with motor vehicles. More than
$4,000 bike riders suffer disabling
injuries.
2. More than eight out of 10 vic
tins are under 16 years of age.
8. Nearly nine out of 10 are
males.
When do bike accidents happen?
1. Seven out of 10 occur during
April-September.
2. Seven out of 10 occur during
daylight hours.
8. They occur most often on Sat-
urday, least often on Sunday. =
Strangely enough, the Council
pointed out, in one accident in
three the bicyclist struck the motor
vehicle.
The AZ states taking part in the
study rejected almost unanimously
proposal that bicyclists ride on
the left side of the street facing
traffic.
The states surveyed favor bicy-
clists riding on the right side, and
following all rules and regulations
pertaining to other vehicles.
Riding on the left side of the
street, the study indicated, is more
hazardous than riding on the right
side.
What suggestions does the Coun-
ell have to keep bike riders safe? ?
1. Obey traffic laws-traffic
lights and signs are for bike riders,
too. Therefore, bike riders must
know the traffic rules.
2. Stay on the right. Never gig
gag.
4. Make sure your bikes in good
condition.
5. When traffic is heavy at cor
ner, get off and push your bike
across the street. Stay within the
crosswalks.
6. Don't ride your bike at night
unless you have to. And then, make
sure your bike has light and rear
reflector.
