Bike crashes are very disorienting events, especially if other moving vehicles or the police are involved. In order to better help cyclists who run into trouble with cars or the cops, the Washington Area Bicyclist Association launched a smartphone application this week that aims to help riders who wind up in unfortunate situations.

The app, which is a free download available for both iPhones and Android devices, includes a directory of the District’s laws and regulations pertaining to cycling, including important details like whether drivers or cyclists are at fault in the event of a collision, and the fees and penalties that can be incurred. There are also handy tools for keeping track of accident details and—if necessary—medical expenses in the event of a nasty spill.

The program was developed by Apps and Apples, an Indian company that WABA discovered after noticing a personal-injury lawyer’s smartphone app. “Because in the event of a bike crash we want to collect the same kind of information a personal-injury attorney would want,” WABA’s communication coordinator Alex Baca writes.

Also, the app includes an “emergency flashlight,” for when a cyclists headlights—which D.C. requires to be mounted on the front while riding in the dark (taillights are also a good idea, though not mandated)—flicker out. The app activates the flash on a phone’s camera to illuminate the area ahead. “Downloading a flashlight app would cost 99 cents, so we are SAVING YOU MONEY,” Baca adds.
