Some of the most common reasons why these types of collisions occur include:

Distracted driving
Driver opens their door without looking for cyclists
Making an unsafe lane change
Running a stop sign or red light
Entering the bike lane
Failure to yield the right of way
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
