What to Know About Motorcycle Crashes and Serious Injuries
Motorcycle crashes can result in severe injuries because riders have less physical protection than people inside enclosed vehicles. Helmets, protective clothing, gloves, and sturdy footwear can reduce the severity of some injuries, although they cannot prevent all harm.
Road conditions can also affect motorcycle safety. Uneven pavement, debris, wet surfaces, poor visibility, and sudden changes in traffic may create additional hazards. Riders benefit from maintaining a safe following distance and adjusting speed to roadway conditions.
Drivers sharing the road with motorcycles should check blind spots carefully and allow extra space when changing lanes or turning. Motorcycles can be smaller and harder to see, particularly in heavy traffic or at intersections.
