Frequently Asked Questions
Why are motorcycle crashes more likely to cause serious injury?
Riders have no frame or airbags around them, so a crash that a car occupant might walk away from can throw a rider onto pavement or into another vehicle, leaving them exposed to direct impact.
How do left-turning cars cause motorcycle collisions?
A common pattern involves a car turning left at an intersection without seeing an oncoming motorcycle, often because a bike's narrow profile is harder to spot in traffic.
What can drivers do to watch for motorcycles?
Checking twice before turning or changing lanes and giving extra space at intersections help drivers spot motorcycles they might otherwise miss.
What should a rider do after a motorcycle crash?
Riders should get checked by medical personnel even if injuries seem minor, since adrenaline can mask pain, and should make sure a report is filed with the responding agency.
