Motorcycle riders love the independence and freedom of a ride on a motorcycle. However, the Bryant Law Firm, LLC, finds it increasingly important to remind every driver on the road of the extra dangers accompanied by motorcyclists.
No matter if you operate a car or truck or ride a motorcycle, it is beneficial to know basic road hazards regarding motorcycles. Below are some of the many common causes of motorcycle collisions:
The motorcycle rider is cut-off by a left-turning vehicle that does not see the bike or improperly measures the speed at which the bike is traveling
The motorcycle hits gravel on a blind corner. Motorcycle riders can avoid this hazard by traveling at a speed that gives them plenty of reaction time.
The motorcyclist drives into a corner while traveling too fast.
A car rear-ends the bike. In seconds, what could be a fender-bender between two vehicles is now a deadly circumstance for a motorcycle rider.
A vehicle changes lanes and does not see the motorcycle (due to being in the vehicle’s blind spot) and then cuts off the rider.
