The Top 5 Causes of Motorcycle Accidents


 
Automotive
If you are involved in a motorcycle accident, you are not only at a major health risk, your motorcycle can potentially be totaled. Sometimes, the damage can be so great that you will not be able to drive the motorcycle away from the scene of an accident. Serious wheel damage, damage to the transmission system, and other serious effects of an accident can make your vehicle completely incapable of running. In these cases, you will need to rely on an Oakland motorcycle towing service.

Be cautious to avoid motorcycle accidents as much as possible. To help you stay safe on the road, consider the top 5 causes of motorcycle accidents below.

Head-On Collisions

A head-on crash is very likely to destroy the front of your motorcycle, especially if you make impact with a vehicle that is significantly taller than your bike. Head-on collisions usually occur when one vehicle swerves into oncoming traffic or when one vehicle accidentally enters a one-way street in the wrong direction.

Dangerous Left Turns

When cars make unchecked left-hand turns, they can impact a driver in oncoming traffic. Whether you are the driver turning or the one hit by a turning vehicle, your motorcycle can be seriously damaged in this type of crash. Be sure to always signal before turning and check all lanes of traffic while you wait in a turning lane.

Never try to overtake a vehicle that is turning and never turn from a lane that is not designated for turning.

Lane Splitting

"Lane splitting" refers to the dangerous driving practice of weaving between lanes of slow, stalled, or stopped traffic on a motorcycle. Because motorcycles are usually small enough to drive between lanes of other vehicles, many motorcyclists engage in lane splitting, especially to get out of stalled traffic. However, you can side-swipe a vehicle or be side-swiped if you do this. You can also be hit by a vehicle on either side of you if they decide to change lanes and do not see you in their blind spot.

Lane splitting often aggravates drivers in larger vehicles, which can lead to aggressive driving. This makes accidents more likely for everyone involved.

Speeding

A great deal of accidents for all drivers usually involve driving above the speed limit. However, because motorcycles are far less sturdy than other vehicles, they are more likely to take serious damage in a speeding accident than any other type of vehicle.

Road Hazards

The final common cause of car accidents is actually not the fault of the motorcyclist at all. Hazards on the road, in parking lots, or on driveways can seriously damage motorcycles. Due to the small size of motorcycles, hazards can be far more damaging to them than any other vehicle. Potholes, roadkill carcasses, uneven roads, slick asphalt and pavement, trash, traffic barriers, and other hazards can lead to a serious accident. Always keep an eye out for hazards when you drive a motorcycle.

If you are careful, you can do your part to reduce your chances of being involved in a motorcycle accident, especially one of the above types of accidents. However, you cannot control other drivers or foreign matter on the road. If your motorcycle is badly damaged in an accident, an Oakland motorcycle towing service can come to your vehicle's aid.
