What Makes Motorcycle Crashes Different From Car Crashes?
Motorcycle riders have less physical protection than people inside passenger cars. A motorcycle does not provide the same surrounding structure as a car, leaving the rider more exposed during a collision.
Riders can be thrown from their motorcycles when another vehicle makes contact. Protective equipment, including helmets, jackets, gloves, and sturdy footwear, can reduce the severity of some injuries.
Drivers can help lower risks by checking blind spots, using turn signals, and leaving enough space when passing motorcycles. Riders can improve visibility with headlights, reflective clothing, and proper positioning within their lane. Careful attention from everyone sharing the road can help prevent dangerous encounters.
