Frequently Asked Questions
What can drivers do to avoid crashes involving motorcycles? Checking mirrors and blind spots twice before turning or changing lanes, and giving motorcycles full lane width, can help prevent these collisions.
What injuries are common when a vehicle collides with a motorcycle? Motorcyclists frequently suffer hip, leg and shoulder injuries, along with road rash and head injuries, since they have far less protection than someone inside a car.
Does speed make vehicle-motorcycle crashes worse? Yes. Higher speeds give drivers less time to react and increase the force of impact, which tends to raise the severity of injuries in these crashes.
