Most motorcycle accidents are preventable. One of the biggest causes of this type of wreck is attributed to the negligence displayed by an opposing driver. For example, if a driver is not paying attention to their surroundings, such as their blind spot, they could collide with an unsuspecting motorcyclist riding alongside them. In addition, if a motorist does not have fully functioning headlights or taillights, it could become difficult for the driver to see motorcyclists as well as making it difficult to notify a motorcyclist that they are preparing to switch lanes.
