Motorcycle Accident

Road traffic accidents that involve motorcycles are sadly very common. You are 40 times more likely to be injured in a motorcycle accident than you are in a car accident.

Although motorcycles only account for 1% of the traffic on our roads; they account for 18% of deaths and serious injury. Out of all the road traffic motorcycle accidents that occur, 80% of them are caused by other people’s negligence.

It is fact that motorcycles are harder to control than cars, especially in bad weather conditions or on bad road surfaces. This is why it is important to take extra care when using a motorcycle. As a motorcycle driver you should be more alert; always take extra precautions at junctions and roundabouts as well as overtaking. Overtaking is one of the main causes of motorcycle accidents; you should always make sure that the road ahead of you is clear before making any moves on the road and avoid overtaking on road bends and when approaching a junction.

Other road users find it more difficult to see motorcyclists as you are not always in a cars vision. As a motorcycle user you should use dipped headlights to make it easier for road users to see you. Motorcycle users should also drive in the centre of a lane so that they are visible in the mirrors of other road users.

Motorcycle accidents can have serious consequences. The injuries sustained from motorcycle accidents are generally always more severe than those gained from an accident involving a car as you have nothing to protect you on a motorcycle.

Becoming the victim of a motorcycle accident can leave you with serious injury. The injuries sustained from a motorcycle accident could alter the way in which you live your life as well as leaving you out of work. You could be left facing high expenses after a motorcycle accident that wasn’t your fault and end up having no way of paying them.
