What Makes Motorcycle and Car Crashes Especially Dangerous?
Motorcycles provide less physical protection than passenger vehicles, leaving riders more exposed during a collision. Even at moderate speeds, contact with another vehicle can cause serious injuries.
Drivers should carefully check for motorcycles before entering a roadway, turning, or crossing traffic. A motorcycle’s smaller size can make it harder to judge its distance and speed.
Motorcyclists can improve their visibility by using headlights and wearing reflective clothing. Maintaining a safe speed and leaving enough space to react can also reduce the risk of a serious crash. Both drivers and riders should remain alert at intersections, where vehicles may enter traffic from different directions.
