First and foremost, it is important for you to understand that bikes have a right to be on the road. They also have to follow the rules of the road like you do. You need to put yourself in the shoes of the bike rider and imagine how you would feel if someone did not look out for you. There are several hand signals that bike riders use to let the other people on the road know what they are going to do next. It is a good idea to familiarize yourself with those signals.
The best way to avoid an accident is to allow plenty of space between you and the person who is riding the bike. Experts recommend that you keep a distance of at least three feet. Additionally, you should avoid using electronics while driving.
