What Can Increase the Risk of Motorcycle Crashes?
Motorcycles are smaller than passenger vehicles, which can make them harder for drivers to see in traffic and at intersections. Differences in vehicle size can also affect the severity of a crash when a motorcycle and larger vehicle collide.
Riders can reduce risks by following traffic signals, maintaining a safe speed, and remaining alert around turning or crossing vehicles. Drivers should also check carefully for motorcycles before entering intersections or changing direction.
