A majority of the time, accidents are avoidable. Here are just a few top tips to avoid getting into a motorcycle crash.
Many drivers struggle spotting motorcyclists on the road. When you are driving near a car, assume the driver cannot see you. Avoid any potential blind spots and ride directly in front or behind of a car. Steer clear of all obstructions in the roads, including, gravel, puddles, and branches.
Riding in between cars during times of traffic can be extremely dangerous, especially riding between an active lane and a lane of parked traffic. Resist the urge to swerve in between gridlocked cars, as well as the urge to operate your motorcycle at high speeds. Follow speed limits as marked on the roads and allow yourself time to slow before taking sharp turns on your motorcycle.
Avoid drinking alcohol of any kind when operating your motorcycle. Half of all motorcycle accidents in the United States involve alcohol. If you have had too much to drink, call a taxi or rideshare. Remember, it’s better to have to come back for your motorcycle than to get into a fatal accident.
Motorcycle helmets, riding boots, gloves, protective clothing, and body armor are all important parts of riding your motorcycle. Wearing the right gear can make all the difference when it comes to motorcycle collisions.
If the unfortunate happens and you fall victim to personal injury after a motorcycle accident, it is important to connect with a motorcycle injury lawyer who will negotiate for you against the tricky insurance companies known for lowballing victims of personal injury to settle their case for as little as possible or, worst of all, dismiss it completely.
