Frequently Asked Questions
Do motorcycle crashes happen more often at intersections?
Yes. Intersections involve turning vehicles, cross traffic, and frequent stops, all of which raise the chance a driver fails to see an approaching motorcycle in time.
Does the road surface make a difference for motorcyclists?
It can. Loose gravel, wet pavement, potholes, and uneven lane markings affect motorcycles more than cars because riders rely on tire grip and balance to stay upright.
What gear actually helps reduce rider injuries?
A DOT-approved helmet, a reinforced jacket, gloves, and over-the-ankle boots are commonly cited as reducing the severity of injuries in a crash. Reflective or bright clothing can also help other drivers spot a rider sooner.
What typically causes motorcycle crashes?
Common factors include a driver turning left in front of an oncoming motorcycle, failing to check blind spots before changing lanes, following too closely, and riders or drivers misjudging speed or distance.
What to Do After a Motorcycle Crash in Oklahoma City, OK
Anyone involved in a motorcycle crash should get checked by a medical provider even if injuries seem minor at first, since some injuries, like internal bleeding or concussions, aren't obvious right away. If you're able, take photos of the scene, the vehicles involved, and any visible road hazards before conditions change. Get the names and contact information of any witnesses nearby. File a police report if one hasn't already been started, and ask for the report number so you can follow up later. Keep records of any medical visits, repair estimates, and missed work in case they're needed down the line. If you're a bystander, call 911 right away and avoid moving an injured rider unless there's an immediate danger, like fire or oncoming traffic.
