Frequently Asked Questions
Why do left-turning vehicles so often collide with motorcycles?
A driver turning left at an intersection may misjudge a motorcycle's speed or simply not see it because of its narrower profile, leading to a collision as the motorcycle passes through or approaches the intersection.
What can drivers do to spot motorcycles more easily?
Checking twice before turning or changing lanes, scanning mirrors and blind spots specifically for motorcycles, and not assuming a bike is farther away than it is can help drivers notice riders in time.
Do motorcycle crashes happen more often at intersections?
Intersections are a common site for motorcycle collisions because they involve turning movements, crossing traffic, and moments where another driver may fail to see an approaching rider.
What to Do After a Motorcycle Crash in Lewes, DE
If you're involved in a motorcycle crash, you should get checked by a medical professional as soon as possible, even if they feel able to walk away, since injuries like concussions or internal bruising can take time to show symptoms. It's helpful to document the scene with photos if it's safe to do so, gather contact information from any witnesses, and request a copy of the official police report once it's available. Riders recovering from a crash should also give themselves time before getting back on a motorcycle, both to heal physically and to process the experience. Following up with local authorities for updates on the investigation can also help provide clarity in the days after a crash.
