What Makes Motorcycle Crashes Different From Car Crashes?
Motorcycles provide less physical protection than passenger vehicles during a collision. Riders can be thrown from a motorcycle or come into direct contact with the roadway. The severity of injuries can depend on the impact and whether protective gear was worn.
Crashes involving motorcycles and larger vehicles can also create difficult recovery conditions. A motorcycle may come to rest separately from the other vehicle. Emergency crews may need to locate and assist people who are away from the vehicles.
Drivers should check carefully for motorcycles before changing lanes or turning. Motorcyclists should remain visible and maintain a safe distance from other traffic. Extra awareness from all road users can help reduce the risk of a collision.
