What Makes Motorcycle Accidents More Dangerous?
Motorcycle riders have less physical protection than people inside enclosed passenger vehicles. A collision can leave riders exposed to the pavement, another vehicle, or nearby objects.
Common motorcycle injuries include broken bones, cuts, bruises, head trauma, and spinal injuries. Helmets can reduce the risk of severe head trauma, while jackets, gloves, pants, and sturdy footwear can provide added protection.
Drivers can help reduce motorcycle accidents by checking blind spots, using turn signals, and leaving enough space when following or passing. Motorcyclists can improve visibility with headlights and reflective equipment while maintaining a predictable path through traffic.
