WHY MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS DIFFER FROM AUTO ACCIDENTS

Motorcycle riders and their passengers are exposed to the possibility of great bodily harm when an accident occurs; more so than people traveling in an automobile.

Motorcycle accidents are frequently caused by automobile drivers who simply do not see the motorcycles. According to national studies, automobile drivers sometimes cut motorcycle riders off, turn into their path, or violate their right of way. Because motorcycles are smaller than automobiles, it is much easier for motorcycles to get lost in an automobile's blind spot or be missed at an intersection. Their smaller size also makes it difficult for an automobile to gauge how far away motorcycles are, or how fast they are traveling, leading automobile drivers to misjudge motorcycles entering or exiting an intersection.

Motorcycle accidents are caused by automobiles striking them from behind, either because the motorcycle stopped faster than the automobile, or because the motorcycle slowed by downshifting or rolling off the throttle, so that no brake light illuminated. Unlike automobile passengers, motorcyclists are also in greater danger from physical hazards on the road.
