What Should Drivers Know About Motorcycle Crash Risks?
Motorcycle riders have less physical protection than people traveling inside passenger vehicles, which can increase the risk of serious injury during a collision. The severity of injuries can depend on factors such as vehicle speed, the point of impact, and roadway conditions.
Drivers should remain alert for motorcycles, particularly near intersections and areas where traffic patterns change. Checking carefully before turning, changing lanes, or entering a roadway can help reduce the risk of a collision.
Motorcyclists can also reduce risks by following traffic laws, maintaining safe speeds, and using appropriate protective equipment. Helmets and other safety gear can help reduce the severity of some injuries in the event of a crash.
