Motorcycle accidents and car accidents vary dramatically because motorcycles do not weigh nearly as much as cars. Motorcycles can be difficult to see on the road, and they might dart through traffic with little to no warning. Motorcycle riders should be aware of other vehicles, obey the speed limit, and avoid making sudden movements. Car drivers should be on the lookout for motorcycles and leave enough distance. A motorcycle can stop on a dime in a fraction of a second, but a car takes much longer.nnLarge truck drivers should be even more careful because a motorcycle could slide under a trailer instead of being sideswiped, and a rear-end wreck could be potentially fatal. Motorcyclists can also be thrown from their bikes during crashes, and motorcycles do not have the safety features found in cars.
