Leading Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

The most common reason behind any accident can be the traffic overloaded roads with alot of vehicles. However, there are indeed other reasons for the same.

While considering RTAs happening due to the motorcycle one can consider the lack of visibility with the motorist. If the accident takes place due to other driver’s fault then the reasons can be various and similarly if the motorist’s vision is restricted because of the traffic.

The following are the most common reasons and circumstances that result in the motorcycle accidents.

Alcohol Consumption

Drinking alcohol prior to any ride or drive is strictly not advisable. In such cases, the driver is unable to focus on the road properly and is also unable to judge the speed and the distance of the approaching vehicles. Sometimes a drunk driver might just hit objects. It can even result in severe accidents.

Drinking and driving is not only a threat for the drunken driver but also for other drivers and pedestrians who are strictly following all the road traffic rules and regulation but are victimized as of the negligent action of others.

Left Turns

When the motorist tries to turn the car toward the left sometimes the mirror can hit the blind spot. This blind spot may result in crashing into the biker. Sometimes the motorcycle makes a left turn and the driver fails to see the left indicator of the bike causing the accident.

Damaged or Hazardous Roads

The most common motorcycle accident cause is slippery damaged or hazardous road surfaces. The motorcycle has a smaller base of support and is also smaller in size leading to easy imbalance. The roads near the construction sites often have grit and construction material falling on the road leading to accidents.

To avoid such accidents, the damaged roads should be immediately restored by the concerned authority.

Rash Driving

Motorcycle accidents are often caused by careless or high-speed driving. For example, aggressive driving, speeding, careless driving, or dashing the car in front of you can all result in an accident. Some riders with sport bikes may attempt to travel at high speeds thereby simply losing control of the vehicle.

Motorcycle accidents may result in the following

● Motorcycle drivers falling from their motorcycles can get concussions and long-term brain injuries.

● When the biker lands on one or both arms during the crash or accident it may result in the condition called biker’s arm.

● It may cause "Road Rash" a condition where a rider loses control of their bike and slides.
