Frequently Asked Questions
What can drivers do to watch for motorcycles?
Checking mirrors and blind spots twice before changing lanes or merging, and allowing extra following distance, gives drivers more time to spot a motorcycle's smaller profile on the highway.
What should a rider do after a motorcycle crash?
Riders are advised to move out of traffic if possible, call 911, and wait for paramedics even if injuries seem minor, since some injuries aren't immediately apparent.
Are motorcycle crashes more common at intersections or merge points?
Many motorcycle collisions happen where vehicles merge, change lanes, or cross paths, since drivers may misjudge a motorcycle's speed or distance in those situations.
How does road surface affect motorcycle safety?
Uneven pavement, debris, or wet roads affect a motorcycle's traction more than a car's, so surface conditions can play a bigger role in a rider's ability to control the bike.
