Frequently Asked Questions
Why do motorcycle crashes tend to cause more serious injuries than crashes involving only cars?
Riders don't have a surrounding frame or airbags to absorb impact, so crash forces are transferred directly to the body, which usually leads to more severe injuries than those seen in passenger vehicle collisions.
How do left-turning vehicles contribute to motorcycle crashes?
A common crash pattern involves a car turning left across a motorcycle's path because the driver misjudges the motorcycle's speed or doesn't see it in time to stop.
What can drivers do to spot motorcycles more easily?
Checking mirrors and blind spots twice, allowing extra following distance, and watching intersections closely before turning can help drivers notice motorcycles sooner.
What should a rider do immediately after a motorcycle crash?
Riders should call 911 if possible, avoid removing protective gear or a helmet unless necessary, and seek medical evaluation even if injuries seem minor at first.
