What to Know About Scooter and Vehicle Accidents
Scooter riders have less physical protection than people inside passenger vehicles. A collision with a larger vehicle can result in serious harm, particularly when the rider is thrown from the scooter or suffers a blow to the head.
Head injuries may not always be fully apparent immediately after an accident. Symptoms can include confusion, loss of consciousness, breathing difficulties, headaches, dizziness, or changes in awareness. Prompt medical evaluation can help determine the extent of any harm.
People riding scooters can reduce some risks by using a properly fitted helmet, remaining visible to motorists, and following traffic laws. Drivers should also watch carefully for smaller road users, especially at intersections where vehicles and scooters may cross paths
