What Makes Motorcycle Crashes Particularly Dangerous?
Motorcycle riders have less physical protection than occupants of passenger vehicles, which can increase the risk of serious injury in a collision. Injuries can vary based on vehicle speed, the point of contact, roadway conditions, and whether the rider is thrown from the motorcycle.
Nighttime riding can create additional challenges because reduced visibility can make it harder for drivers to notice motorcycles. Headlights, reflective equipment, and careful driving can help improve visibility for everyone using the road.
Helmets and other protective gear can also reduce the severity of some injuries. Riders and motorists can lower risks by following traffic laws, maintaining safe speeds, and staying alert to other vehicles.
