Frequently Asked Questions
What should a rider do immediately after a motorcycle crash?
If possible, move to safety, call 911, and avoid removing a helmet or moving an injured rider, since head and neck injuries can worsen with movement. Let paramedics handle extrication and transport.
Are intersections a common site for motorcycle crashes?
Yes, intersections are a frequent crash location because they involve turning vehicles, cross-traffic, and limited reaction time for riders who may be hard for other drivers to see.
Does road surface affect motorcycle safety?
Yes. Loose gravel, potholes, wet pavement, and uneven lanes reduce a motorcycle's traction and stability far more than they affect a car, making road condition a key factor in rider safety.
What gear helps reduce injury severity for motorcyclists?
A DOT-approved helmet, abrasion-resistant jacket and pants, gloves, and over-the-ankle boots are commonly cited as reducing the severity of head, road rash, and limb injuries in a crash.
