Motorcycle accidents
can occur even though motorcycle enthusiasts know that hitting the open
road can be refreshing, fun, and even liberating. But, avid cyclists
also recognize that the average driver simply isn't on the lookout for
motorcycles.
Death and serious injury
from collisions involving motorcycles accidents are too
frequent. Motorcyclists are over-represented in road casualty
statistics, especially when compared to the number of bikes on the road
and injuries are typically much more violent
and
severe than similar speed car-to-car accidents. Statistics show
that in collisions involving automobiles and motorcycles, more often
than not, the fault lies with the automobile operator.

The most common factor is that the driver
of the other vehicle simply "did not see the motorcyclist coming."
Safety is paramount for the biker. web Bike World has compiled a comprehensive and dynamic
resource for bikers. Please take a minute to browse. In addition we
have compiled a list of items that may at first seem common-sense but
so often get taken for granted when we hit the road. |
