Under Georgia law, a bicycle is considered to be a vehicle, and the rider is considered to be a driver, subject to the same laws as the drivers of other vehicles such as cars and trucks, with certain exceptions. Basically, if you can’t do it in a car, you can’t do it on a bike, such as running a red light. In general, when riding a bike, you are required to stay as far to the right as possible except in certain circumstances, such as when you are turning left or when the right lane is right-turn only, and you aren’t turning right. All of that means, of course, that state negligence laws also apply to bicycle riders. If you run a red light and collide with another vehicle, that accident is your fault.
