Why Do Bike Accidents Occur?

While there are many more motorcycles on the roads today in the year 1996 the police reported motorcycle accidents involved approximately 67,000 motorcycles and out of this number there were 27,000 motorcycle accidents that did not involve other vehicles.

There are a number of motorcycle accidents that occur every year that can be recognized as bikes that lack experience or do not adhere to the operating limitations of the motorcycle.

Motorcyclists need to be extra vigilant in defensive driving, the biker has to be more alert at intersections, as this is where most motorcycle accidents happen that involve other vehicles. Statistics show that approximately one-third of the motorcycle accidents that occur yearly are due to drivers who turn into the path of the biker.

In defensive driving the biker needs to be visible at all times and this includes when motorists are making left turns, because the driver might not see the motorcycle. This leaves the biker to make defensive riding maneuvers to avoid an accident.

Other defensive riding the motorcyclist must be aware of and prepared for is inclement weather, surfaces that become slippery and obstacles and debris on the roads.

The new biker should attend a motorcycle training course to be educated in how to safely operate the bike. They must also depend on their helmet as well as their protective clothing and eye protection as it shows in statistics that they can lessen the severity of injuries during an accident.
