What Motorcyclists and Drivers Should Know About Motorcycle Crashes
Motorcycles offer less physical protection than passenger vehicles, making collisions potentially more dangerous for riders. Drivers should actively look for motorcycles when changing lanes, turning, entering intersections, or merging into traffic.
Motorcyclists can reduce risk by maintaining a safe following distance, staying visible, and using appropriate protective equipment. Defensive riding also allows more time to react when another vehicle makes an unexpected movement.
Drivers should check blind spots carefully because motorcycles can be smaller and harder to see than larger vehicles. Avoiding distractions and leaving adequate space can also give both motorists and riders more time to respond to changing traffic conditions.
