Frequently Asked Questions
What can drivers do to watch for motorcycles and motorized bikes?
Drivers should check mirrors and blind spots an extra time at intersections and driveways, since smaller two-wheeled vehicles can be harder to spot in traffic and easy to misjudge for distance and speed.
What should a rider do after this kind of crash?
If possible, riders should move to safety, call 911, and avoid removing any protective gear until medical responders arrive, since doing so can worsen some injuries.
Are these crashes more common at intersections?
Collisions between smaller vehicles like motorized bikes and cars frequently happen at intersections, where turning traffic and limited visibility raise the chance a driver fails to see a rider in time.
Does road surface affect motorcycle or motorized bike safety?
Yes. Gravel, wet pavement, and uneven surfaces can reduce traction and control for two-wheeled vehicles far more than for cars, making braking and turning less predictable.
