Frequently Asked Questions
What usually causes motorcycle crashes like this one?
Many motorcycle crashes happen when another vehicle changes lanes or turns without seeing the rider, especially in heavier traffic or near highway merge points.
Why do motorcycle crashes tend to cause more serious injuries than other crashes?
Riders have little protection around them, so a collision that might just dent a car can throw a motorcyclist from the bike or into another vehicle, leading to more severe injuries.
How do lane changes or left turns lead to collisions with motorcycles?
Drivers sometimes misjudge a motorcycle's speed or distance, or simply don't check their blind spot or mirrors closely enough, and move into a lane or across traffic right as a motorcycle is passing through.
What can drivers do to spot motorcycles more easily?
Checking mirrors and blind spots twice before changing lanes, and giving extra time when judging a motorcycle's speed, can help drivers notice riders they might otherwise miss.
