One of the prevalent causes of motorcycle collisions is car drivers making improper left-hand turns, often due to misjudging the space between the car and the motorcycle OR failing to accurately assess the motorcycle’s speed.

While legal in California, riding between lanes of slow-moving or stopped traffic can lead to accidents if drivers aren’t aware of the approaching motorcyclist or if the motorcyclist misjudges how much available space there is.

Also, while often overlooked, the significance of well-maintained roads becomes evident when considering their role in preventing accidents. Even a minor road hazard can result in a motorcycle collision.

Avoidable accidents and injuries are increasing due to individuals neglecting basic road safety. With phones being a common and consistent distraction, drivers often focus their attention elsewhere. The smaller sizes of motorcycles can go unnoticed to distracted drivers.

Reckless driving behaviors such as speeding, tailgating, and erratic lane changes pose significant dangers on the road, potentially causing harm to others.
