Frequently Asked Questions
How do left-turning vehicles cause motorcycle crashes?
A common pattern happens when a car turns left across an intersection or driveway and misjudges the speed or distance of an oncoming motorcycle, leading to a collision. Riders are smaller and harder to see, so drivers sometimes don't register them until it's too late.
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 motorcycles they might otherwise miss.
What should a rider do after a motorcycle crash?
If possible, move to a safe location away from traffic, call 911, and seek medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor. Documenting the scene and waiting for law enforcement to arrive is also recommended.
Are motorcycle crashes more common at intersections?
Many motorcycle collisions happen at intersections, where turning vehicles and crossing traffic create more opportunities for a driver to fail to see an approaching rider.
