Frequently Asked Questions
Why do motorcycle crashes tend to cause more serious injuries than crashes involving only cars?
A motorcycle offers no outer shell to absorb impact, so riders are more exposed to direct contact with vehicles, the road surface, or other objects during a collision.
How do left-turning vehicles contribute to motorcycle collisions?
A common pattern involves a car turning left across an intersection without seeing an oncoming motorcycle, usually because the smaller profile and speed of a bike are harder to judge than those of a car.
What can drivers do to be more aware of motorcycles on the road?
Checking mirrors and blind spots an extra time before turning or changing lanes, and allowing more following distance, can help drivers spot motorcycles sooner.
What should someone do after being involved in a motorcycle crash?
Getting checked by medical personnel at the scene, documenting the location and any visible damage, and obtaining a copy of the police report are commonly recommended steps.
