Scooter Accidents in Michigan
As scooter use continues to grow in Michigan cities, so does the risk of collisions involving motor vehicles. According to transportation safety data, scooter riders are especially vulnerable to injury because they lack the protection offered by cars and motorcycles. Common crash causes include drivers failing to yield, misjudging scooter speed, and distracted driving.
Riders can reduce risk by wearing helmets, using designated lanes where available, and making themselves more visible with reflective clothing or lights. Drivers can help prevent accidents by checking blind spots carefully, allowing extra passing space, and remaining alert for smaller vehicles, especially in busy urban areas.
