What Are Common Causes of SUV and Motorcycle Crashes?
Crashes involving motorcycles and larger vehicles can occur for several reasons. Differences in vehicle size can make motorcycles harder to see, especially when they are traveling beside or behind an SUV.
Common contributing factors can include driver inattention, failure to yield, unsafe lane changes, speeding, and poor visibility. Road conditions and traffic patterns may also affect how quickly drivers recognize a motorcycle.
Motorcyclists have less physical protection than people inside enclosed vehicles. Helmets, protective clothing, and proper riding gear can reduce the severity of some injuries, although they cannot prevent every serious outcome. Drivers can also reduce risk by checking blind spots carefully, using turn signals, and leaving enough space around motorcycles.
