Frequently Asked Questions for Palm Beach Accident Lawyers

Q: Can I ride my bike against traffic in Florida?

A: In Florida, it is illegal to ride your bicycle against traffic. Not only does this extremely dangerous act increase your likelihood of being involved in a Florida car crash, but you will also be ticketed for a moving volition if you are caught riding the wrong way.

A bicycle is legally defined as a vehicle and has the same rights as any other vehicle on the roadway. Along with these rights comes the responsibility to obey all traffic laws including stopping for stop signs and stoplights, riding with the flow of traffic, using proper lighting when riding at night, and yielding to the right of way of other vehicles when entering and exiting a roadway.
   
If you have been seriously injured in a Florida bike crash because of another driver’s negligence, you may have rights to compensation. Contact a Palm Beach car wreck lawyer at Fetterman & Associates for answers to all of your Florida bicycle accident questions.
