Common factors contributing to motorcycle accidents include:
- Lack of skill: Everybody looks cool on a motorcycle, but do you know how to properly operate it? Motorcycles require a different set of skills to operate compared to cars, and riders who are not trained or who lack experience can be a threat to themselves and others on the road.
- Speeding or reckless driving: Motorcycles can be more susceptible to accidents when riders engage in risky behavior such as speeding or reckless driving.
- Distracted driving: Distracted driving is a major cause of accidents for all types of vehicles, including motorcycles. This can include texting, talking on the phone, or even just not paying full attention to the road.
- Alcohol or drug impairment: Impaired driving is a major cause of accidents for all types of vehicles, including motorcycles.
- Road conditions: Poor road conditions, such as potholes, debris, or slippery surfaces, can be more dangerous for motorcycles and can contribute to accidents.
- Vehicle defects: In some cases, accidents may be caused by defects in the motorcycle itself, such as faulty brakes or tires.
- Other drivers: Accidents can also be caused by the actions of other drivers on the road, such as making unsafe lane changes or failing to yield the right of way.
