Frequently Asked Questions
How do left turns by other drivers lead to motorcycle crashes?
A driver turning left across an intersection may misjudge a motorcycle's speed or distance, or simply not see it, and pull into its path. This is one of the most common ways cars and motorcycles collide.
What can drivers do to spot motorcycles sooner?
Checking mirrors and blind spots twice, especially before turning or changing lanes, and giving a motorcycle a full lane's width can help a driver notice a rider in time to react.
What should a rider do right after a crash?
If possible, a rider should move to a safe spot away from traffic, call 911, and avoid removing a helmet or moving an injured body part until emergency crews arrive.
Do motorcycle crashes happen more frequently at intersections?
Yes. Many motorcycle crashes happen where vehicles are turning, entering, or crossing traffic, since those are the moments when another driver is most likely to misjudge a motorcycle's position.
