Frequently Asked Questions
What typically causes motorcycle accidents?
Motorcycle crashes commonly stem from drivers failing to notice a rider in traffic, sudden lane changes, speed, or turning vehicles cutting across a motorcycle's path.
Why are motorcycle crashes more likely to cause serious injury or death?
Riders have little protection compared to someone in a car, so a crash that might cause minor damage to a vehicle can cause severe injury or death to a motorcyclist.
How do left-turning vehicles contribute to motorcycle collisions?
A common pattern involves a car turning left across an intersection or ramp without seeing an oncoming motorcycle, misjudging its speed or distance.
What can drivers do to be more aware of motorcycles on the road?
Checking mirrors and blind spots twice, allowing extra following distance, and watching for motorcycles at intersections and ramps can help drivers spot riders sooner.
