Frequently Asked Questions
What typically causes crashes between motorcycles and other vehicles?
Many involve a driver failing to see the motorcycle in time, misjudging its speed or distance, or turning across its path. Limited visibility and blind spots are frequent factors.
Why do motorcycle crashes tend to cause more serious injuries than other collisions?
A motorcycle offers no enclosed structure to absorb impact, so riders can be thrown from the bike or into another vehicle. Even at moderate speeds, this can lead to broken bones, head injuries or worse.
How do left-turning vehicles cause collisions with motorcycles?
A driver turning left at an intersection may misjudge how fast an oncoming motorcycle is approaching, or not see it at all, and pull into its path. These left-turn crashes are a common pattern in motorcycle collisions.
What can drivers do to spot motorcycles more reliably?
Checking mirrors and blind spots twice before changing lanes or turning, and allowing extra following distance, gives drivers more time to notice a motorcycle's smaller profile.
