Due to the great weather and warmer climate, Florida has a lot of cyclists on or near the roads year round. Therefore, Florida drivers should always be extra cautious when driving near cyclists or bicycle lanes. Although people can be unpredictable, if you, as a driver, are alert and have your focus on the road it is more likely that you will be able to prevent an accident instead of becoming a part of one.
