The August 2018 Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) report  “A Right to the Road Understanding & Addressing Bicyclist Safety” concludes that “While engineering solutions are key, states and communities simply cannot build their way out of the bicyclist safety problem; roadway improvements must be accompanied by education and enforcement to be most effective.”  The report goes on to state “the number one reason why people do not ride a bicycle is because they are afraid to be on the road with motor vehicles.”

It's important that cyclists report their incidents to the police but there have been many cases where police departments and State police would not accept cyclist video evidence without a collision including our 9/18/14  Castro Valley precedent, and our 1/18/16 Glendale precedent. 

Even if your incident report is accepted there is no online public access to your Incident Reports and you cannot search by license plate number to learn if you were assaulted by a repeat offender.

Even if your incident report is accepted many times police do not cite drivers for egregious incidents even with irrefutable cyclist video evidence as in our 9/18/14  Castro Valley precedent  and our current Castro Valley case where a Father was Assaulted and Battered in a Hit and Run.

Our free Incident Management System allows cyclists Enter, Track, Analyze, Update, Map, and Generate PDF Reports of their Assault and Reckless Driving Incident Reports from the moment they occur.  It also allows cyclists to document their progress through the local law enforcement departments and court system to final conviction, should one occur.

Cyclists can also search by license plate number to learn if you were assaulted by a repeat offender before collisions occur.

We will also be able to identify Jurisdictional Risk Patterns: Jurisdictions where law enforcement does not provide cyclists equal protection under the law by citing and prosecuting drivers for egregious assault and reckless driving incidents.

It will also allow police departments and cities to identify repeat offenders as well as hot spots by location, time of day, day of week, and month of year so they can optimize their allocation of limited resources to increase cyclist safety.

Or research report documents that the main reason cyclists stop cycling is not collisions, but rather, near misses.  The main reason non-cyclists do not become cyclists is perceived risk which is corroborated by the GHSA’s report.  This will be the first near miss and perceived risk data available and is critical in changing law enforcement and government's focus from collisions to near misses and perceived risk.
