Frequently Asked Questions
What gear helps reduce injury for motorcycle riders?
A DOT-approved helmet, abrasion-resistant jacket and pants, gloves, and over-the-ankle boots can reduce the severity of injuries in a fall or collision. Reflective or bright clothing can also help other drivers see a rider sooner.
What usually causes motorcycle accidents?
Common factors include other drivers failing to see a motorcycle, sudden lane changes, left-turning vehicles crossing a rider's path, and riders going down after losing control or being struck.
Why do motorcycle crashes tend to cause more serious injuries than other crashes?
Riders have no frame, airbags, or seatbelt around them, so a collision or fall can throw them onto the pavement or into another vehicle's path, which raises the risk of serious injury compared with crashes involving only cars or trucks.
How do left-turning vehicles cause collisions with motorcycles?
A driver turning left across traffic may misjudge a motorcycle's speed or distance, or simply not see it, and pull into its path. This is one of the most frequent ways cars and motorcycles collide at intersections.
