What Should Drivers Know About Motorcycle Crashes?
Motorcycles offer less protection than passenger vehicles, making visibility and safe following distances especially important. Drivers should check carefully for motorcycles before changing lanes, turning, or entering an intersection.
Motorcycles can be smaller and harder to see, particularly in heavy traffic or poor weather. A driver may also misjudge a motorcycle’s speed or distance, which can create dangerous conditions at intersections.
Motorcyclists can reduce risks by following traffic laws, using headlights when appropriate, and wearing protective gear. Maintaining a safe speed and leaving enough space from other vehicles can also provide more time to react.
At intersections, both motorists and motorcyclists should watch for turning vehicles and avoid assuming another road user has seen them.
