According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Motorcyclist deaths occurred twenty seven times more frequently than fatalities in other vehicles, based on 2014 fatal crash data. Motorcycle accidents may occur for a number of reasons. The most common reason reported is the failure of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles on the road. This endangers motorcyclist and increases their risk of being involved in an accident. Motorcycle accidents are occurring with more frequency.
One of the most common cause of motorcycle accidents is left turn accidents. Left turn accidents occur when a vehicle pulls out from a intersection attempting to make a left turn but instead ends up in motorcyclist path. An example of a blind spot is when a motorist fails to see the motorcyclist while changing lanes, ultimately resulting in an accident. Some of the other common causes of motorcycles accidents are unsafe lane changes, speeding, driving under the influence, lane splitting, sudden stops, and inexperienced drivers.
