Frequently Asked Questions
What should a rider do immediately after a motorcycle crash?
If possible, move to a safe area away from traffic, call 911, and avoid removing any protective gear until medical responders arrive. Getting checked by a provider matters even if injuries seem minor at first.
Do motorcycle crashes happen more frequently at intersections?
Yes. Intersections are common sites for motorcycle crashes because turning or merging vehicles may fail to see a smaller motorcycle in time to stop or yield.
How does the road surface affect motorcycle safety?
Wet pavement, loose gravel, potholes, and uneven lane markings can affect a motorcycle's traction and stability more than they would a car, making road conditions an important factor in crash risk.
What gear reduces injury severity for riders?
A DOT-approved helmet, abrasion-resistant jacket and pants, gloves, and over-the-ankle boots are commonly cited as reducing the severity of injuries in a crash.
