Frequently Asked Questions
Does the condition of the road surface matter for motorcycle safety?
Yes. Loose gravel, potholes, oil slicks, and uneven pavement affect motorcycles more than cars because riders rely on two narrow contact points for balance and traction.
What gear helps reduce injuries in a motorcycle crash?
A DOT-approved helmet, a riding jacket and pants with abrasion-resistant material, gloves, and over-the-ankle boots all help reduce the severity of injuries in a fall or collision.
What usually causes motorcycle crashes like this one?
Common factors include excessive speed, drivers failing to see motorcycles in traffic, lane changes without checking blind spots, and riders misjudging the speed or distance of other vehicles.
Why do motorcycle crashes tend to cause more serious injuries than car crashes?
Riders have no outer shell, airbags, or seatbelts to absorb impact, so a collision commonly throws them from the bike and onto the pavement or into another vehicle.
