Frequently Asked Questions
Why can motorcycle crashes lead to more serious injuries than other crashes?
Riders have no frame, airbags, or seatbelts around them, so a crash that a car occupant might walk away from can throw a rider onto pavement or into another vehicle.
How do left-turning vehicles cause collisions with motorcycles?
A common pattern is a car turning left across traffic, misjudging a motorcycle's speed or distance, or simply not seeing it, putting the two on a collision path at an intersection.
What can drivers do to spot motorcycles more easily?
Checking mirrors and blind spots twice before turning or changing lanes, and giving extra time at intersections, can help drivers notice a motorcycle's smaller profile.
What should someone do after being in a motorcycle crash?
Get checked by medical personnel even if injuries seem minor, report the crash to police, and document the scene if safely possible.
