Frequently Asked Questions
How do left-turning vehicles end up colliding with motorcycles?
A common pattern at intersections and turn lanes happens when a driver turns left and misjudges the speed or distance of an oncoming motorcycle, or simply does not see it in time. The smaller profile of a motorcycle can make it harder to spot in traffic.
What can drivers do to watch for motorcycles more effectively?
Checking mirrors and blind spots twice, slowing down before turns, and giving motorcycles a full lane's width of space all help. Motorcycles can be closer and moving faster than they appear.
Are intersections more likely to produce motorcycle crashes than open roads?
Yes, intersections and turn points see a larger share of motorcycle collisions because they involve more crossing and merging movements where a vehicle and a motorcycle can end up in the same path.
What should a rider do immediately after a motorcycle crash?
If possible, move to a safe spot away from traffic, call 911, and avoid removing a helmet unless it's necessary for breathing. Even if a rider feels fine, a medical check is worth getting, since some injuries from a fall don't show symptoms right away.
What to Do After a Motorcycle Crash in Columbia, MO
Anyone involved in a motorcycle crash should get checked by a medic or at an emergency room, even without obvious pain, since road rash, head impacts, and joint injuries can take hours to become noticeable. Take photos of the scene and any damage if it's safe to do so, and get contact information from anyone nearby who saw what happened. File a police report if one hasn't already been started, and keep a copy for your records. Follow up with your own doctor in the days afterward, particularly if soreness, stiffness, or headaches develop after the adrenaline wears off.
