What Can Make Motorcycle Crashes Serious?
Motorcyclists have less physical protection than people traveling inside enclosed vehicles. A collision can expose a rider to direct impact, contact with the roadway, and injuries to the legs, arms, or other parts of the body.
The severity of a motorcycle injury can depend on the speed of the vehicles, the direction of impact, and whether the rider is thrown from the motorcycle. Protective equipment can provide added protection, particularly for exposed areas such as the legs and arms.
Drivers can reduce risks by checking carefully for motorcycles before turning, changing lanes, or entering intersections. Motorcyclists can also improve safety by remaining visible, maintaining a safe speed, and watching for vehicles that may enter their path.
