Motorcycle vs. Car Accidents
Motorcycle-Car Accidents regularly occur for a considerable amount of reasons:
- Other Drivers Driving Dangerously
- Drivers Prejudiced Against Motorcyclists
- Bad Weather
- Road Hazards
The most common motorcycle-car accident occurs when a car turns in front of the motorcycle. The driver operating the car either fails to see the motorcyclist or just judges the speed of the motorcycle incorrectly. If a driver operating a car is speeding, driving drunk, or distracted in any other way, this will increase the likelihood of an accident tremendously.
Another common cause of motorcycle-car accidents is discrimination against motorcyclists. Studies show that drivers operating other vehicles are sometimes prejudiced against motorcyclists because of the small percentage of riders that drive recklessly while operating a motorcycle. Other studies show that drivers are prejudiced against motorcyclists because of how they are usually portrayed in movies and on television. Whatever the case is, discrimination against motorcyclists can have a major effect on the person operating the motorcycle.
The injuries acquired during a motorcycle-car accident are likely to be severe for the motorcyclist. Despite the fact that the motorcyclist may be wearing a helmet and other protective gear, they still may not be protected enough. The bike and rider, whom are normally of a smaller size and weight than the typical passenger car, will usually suffer from more serious injuries than the driver of a car.
