Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
In general, cyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers. You can use the road, and motorists must treat you like any other vehicle.
Drivers are supposed to give you at least three feet of space when passing. If they do not and they hit you, that can be strong evidence they were negligent.
No. In many business districts it is not allowed, and riding on the road near the right side is often the standard so you stay visible.
Usually the at fault driver’s auto insurance. If they have no insurance, your uninsured motorist coverage may help.
Yes. Mississippi does not require adult cyclists to wear helmets statewide. Insurance may argue it made injuries worse, but it does not stop you from making a claim.
