Frequently Asked Questions
Why are motorcycle crashes more likely to result in serious injury or death?
Riders have no frame, airbags or seatbelts to absorb a collision, so impacts that a car occupant might walk away from can throw a motorcyclist from the bike and onto the road or into another vehicle.
How do collisions with large trucks differ from other motorcycle crashes?
Trucks take longer to stop and have larger blind spots, so a motorcyclist who misjudges following distance or tries to pass has less room to react if the truck slows or shifts position.
What should a rider or witness do after a motorcycle crash?
Call 911, avoid moving a seriously injured rider unless there's immediate danger, and wait for police and medical crews so the scene can be documented and treatment can begin quickly.
