Given increase in gas prices and troubles in the economy, many people are turning to bikes. With more bikes on the road, there is a good chance there will be more bike accidents. 

Most motorists believe that car-bike accidents are typically caused by bikes being too aggressive on the road. However, as studies have shown, the majority of such accidents are caused by car drivers. 

The accidenty usually occur because the car driver runs a stop sign, turns into a cyclist's path, or opens a door on a biker.
