Motorbikes
A large amount of accidents are caused by other road user’s negligence, and are generally due to failing to see an oncoming motorcycle. More often than not, this happens at junctions. Typical accidents are when a car pulls out of a side road at a junction into the main road. Here the motorcyclist has the right of way. The car would be negligent and deemed at fault for causing the accident. Most of these accident circumstances could be avoided if the vehicle waiting at the junction had taken time to look around the surroundings especially when approaching the junction, or waiting to check both directions before manoeuvring from the junction.
A motorcyclist on the road is very difficult to see due to the speeds they can reach and the size of the vehicle. By improving their visibility on the roads this will reduce the risk of another vehicle not noticing them on the road. By wearing clothing that contains high fluorescent and reflective materials at night and distinctive colours during the day will reduce the risk of not being seen by other road users.
Sadly, Motor cyclists are 40 times more likely to be killed or injured than car drivers or passengers. 80% of motorcyclist accidents are caused by another person’s negligence.
