That’s a scary thought. We know you do your best to stay safe when you get out on your motorcycle, but you can’t control the actions of other drivers on the roadway. Many drivers operate carelessly around motorcycles, refusing to share the road and give them space.
That can be deadly if a motorcyclist has to stop quickly. Getting rear ended by a vehicle shouldn’t happen, but when it does, it can be deadly.
Drivers become even more deadly for motorcycle riders if they are driving under the influence of alcohol. If a driver is impaired, they are much more likely to hit a motorcyclist and they may not even stop after the accident.
More and more, we are seeing deadly collisions happen because a driver though it would be okay to look down at their phones to watch a quick video clip. Maybe they needed to send a short text.
That “LOL” can turn into a fatality.
Distracted driving is just as deadly as impaired driving.
Little Protection
Even if a motorcyclist and their passenger are wearing a helmet, there is just no way for the human body to handle the impact of a vehicle without suffering some kind of injury.
In 2016, the latest reporting year in Florida, there were 10,311 motorcycle crashes, a number that is trending upward year after year.
Out of those crashes, there were 515 fatalities and 8,256 injuries.
No matter how you look at it, when there is a motorcycle crash, someone usually gets hurt or killed.
Injuries can range from minor scrapes and bruises to major internal and head injuries that require surgery and rehabilitation to fix.
Often, this means high medical bills from the hospital and rehab. This also means time away from work.
Will you be able to support your family if you are unable to work?
