Frequently Asked Questions
Why do motorcycle crashes tend to cause more serious injuries than crashes involving only cars?
A rider has no frame, airbags, or seatbelt around them, so the impact and the fall to the pavement land directly on the body. Even a low-speed collision can cause broken bones or head and facial injuries.
How do crashes like this typically happen at intersections?
Many involve a driver turning or pulling out who misjudges a motorcycle's speed or distance, or simply does not see it in time. Limited visibility and the smaller profile of a motorcycle both play a role.
What should a driver do to watch for motorcycles at intersections?
Checking twice before turning or pulling into traffic, and giving extra time to confirm a lane is clear, can help a driver spot a motorcycle that might otherwise be missed.
What should a rider do after a motorcycle crash?
Getting checked by medical personnel even for injuries that seem minor is important, since some injuries are not obvious right away. Riders should also wait for police to document the scene before leaving.
