How Drivers and Riders Can Help Prevent Motorcycle Crashes
Motorcycles provide riders with less physical protection than passenger vehicles during a crash. Drivers should check blind spots carefully and allow motorcycles enough space when changing lanes or turning.
Motorcyclists can reduce their risk by maintaining a safe speed and staying alert to surrounding traffic. Wearing protective gear, including a helmet, can also reduce the severity of injuries during a collision.
