WNR — Got out late and forced to ride solo tonight. Wasn’t a bad thing. Worked out a bit rage— and maybe even cussed a bit. I feel much better now. . . . . . #bikerage #cycling #happycycling #cyclingshots #angermanagement #ridehincapie #givemeabeer https://www.instagram.com/p/BxgbK_0B2it/?igshid=5vino5zf68r

When Bikers Are Victims of Road Rage

Contrary to what you might think, road rage is more common than many people believe. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration has stated that approximately 1/3 of all accidents are a result of aggressive driving that could be considered road rage.

To add to this unfortunate situation, bikers are often the go to target making them one of the most frequent victims. This means if you are a biker, it is prudent that you understand your legal options and be aware of the steps needed to be taken after an accident involving road rage.

Signs of Road Rage and Aggressive Driving

Road rage can happen in different manners. Although different, they can be classified as aggressive driving, or in some instances, driving with the intention to intimidate. Either way, road rage is often beyond aggression and typically targets a person often because the driver feels like some sort of harm was done to them by the other party. Road rage can arise from honking the horn, flashing headlights, or yelling at another person. The situation can escalate and become dangerous when the driver begins to take actions such as:

●      Cutting a biker off

●      Braking suddenly

●      Chasing the biker or other party

●      Tailgating the person

●      Preventing them from merging into a lane or turning

●      Attempting to cause the targeted party to crash

Every scenario can be dangerous when they occur, but when road rage is carried out on a cyclist, the chances of sustaining a serious or deadly injury are significantly higher. Motorcyclists and bicyclists offer very little protection compared to a driver or passenger of a car. With the help of a personal injury lawyer, you can discuss the incident and find out if compensation is available.

Bikers As Targets of Road Rage

According to recent statistics, bikers are a target for road rage; why this is true is not understood. More than likely it is because a biker is easy to attack, or in other words vulnerable. Another reason could be that the driver does not like bikers or finds it to be a hassle sharing the road with them. The factors are essentially endless, and in reality, they do not matter. The truth is that there is absolutely no excuse for road rage. Furthermore, there is no acceptable reason to threaten or injure a biker because a driver is upset.

If you are the victim of a road rage attack, there is a good chance you have sustained some kind of injury. It is important to get help from a lawyer, like a motorcycle accident lawyer Las Vegas NV trusts, who cares. Compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and more may be available. Don't let yourself be a victim. Call a lawyer today.

“Man, I don’t care. I mean, there’s a lot of not caring going on up here. I cannot convey to you the profundity of the not caring. I mean, it’s really -- it’s a LOT of not caring.”
