Frequently Asked Questions
What can drivers do to spot motorcycles more easily?
Checking mirrors and blind spots twice before turning or changing lanes helps, since a motorcycle's narrow profile can be easy to miss in traffic.
What should a rider do right after a motorcycle crash?
If possible, try to move to a safe spot away from traffic, call 911, and avoid removing a helmet or moving an injured limb until medical responders arrive.
Do motorcycle crashes happen more frequently at intersections?
Many do, since intersections are where left-turning vehicles and crossing traffic are most likely to misjudge a motorcycle's speed or distance.
Does road surface condition affect motorcycle safety?
Yes. Gravel, wet pavement, potholes and uneven surfaces affect a motorcycle's traction more than they do a car's, which can make handling harder in a sudden maneuver.
