Remember, motorcycles use as much of the lane as cars do - just not all at one time. Vulnerability Motorcycles do not have protective exteriors like cars and, therefore, are more vulnerable to a variety of elements. Even with the proper clothing and helmets, motorcyclists are at a higher risk of injury, should they be involved in a crash. Motorcyclists are more affected by bad weather such as rain, high winds, and ice. Understanding the challenges faced by motorcyclists can help motorists see another point of view while driving.
Drivers can then anticipate the rider's moves and perhaps help prevent a crash from occurring.
The most frequent cause of multi-vehicle crashes is a motorist turning left in front of an oncoming motorcycle. Anywhere two vehicles' paths can cross creates a danger point for both motorcycles and automobiles. This includes driveways, parking lots, and side street entrances. When vehicles slow, stop, or turn, the possibility for a collision is greatly increased. Two lanes of traffic traveling in the same direction Motorcycles may be difficult to see and are susceptible to crashes when they are changing lanes, passing cars, or being passed.
