What Makes Motorcycle Crashes Particularly Dangerous?
Motorcycle riders have less physical protection than occupants of passenger vehicles, which can increase the risk of injury in a collision. The severity of injuries can depend on factors such as vehicle speed, the point of impact, and roadway conditions.
Intersections can create additional risks because vehicles and motorcycles may approach from different directions or enter a driver’s blind spot. Drivers should check carefully for motorcycles before turning or changing lanes.
Wearing a helmet and other protective equipment can help reduce the severity of some injuries. Following traffic laws, maintaining safe speeds, and remaining alert can also help reduce the risk of motorcycle crashes.
