What Makes Motorcycle Crashes More Likely to Cause Serious Injuries?
Motorcycle riders have less physical protection than occupants of passenger vehicles, leaving them more exposed in a collision. The severity of injuries can depend on factors such as vehicle speed, the point of contact, and whether a rider is thrown from the motorcycle.
Intersections can present additional risks because vehicles may turn, cross lanes, or enter an intersection from different directions. Drivers should check carefully for motorcycles, which can be smaller and harder to see than passenger vehicles.
Protective equipment, including helmets and appropriate riding gear, can reduce the severity of some injuries. Maintaining safe speeds, following traffic signals, and staying alert can also help reduce the risk of serious motorcycle collisions.
