Since 1997, motorcycle fatalities have been on the rise. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration there was a 74 percent increase in fatalities from the year of 2002 to 2003, with numbers on the rise. The main causes for motorbike fatalities are the excessive speed and collisions with other vehicles. Helmets saved the lives of about 1200 riders while another 640 lives could have been saved if helmets were worn.

Additional causes of motorcycle accidents include:

  • Visibility
  • Hard braking
  • Lack of protective gear
  • Worn tires
  • Lack of pre-ride checks
  • Alcohol and drugs
  • Poor weather conditions

Unfortunately accidents are part of all motor vehicle transportation. There is no guarantee and even the most cautious and safe drivers are likely to be involved in some type of accident eventually. As a motorcycle rider, it is important to follow a few safety measures as they can at least diminish the injuries and sometimes prevent death.

There are common mistakes motorcycle riders make

When a motorcycle rider senses a dangerous situation, the instincts to survive often prevent the rider from doing the right thing. When something goes wrong, the initial instinct is to snap off the power. Generally, this is the reason for loss of control and ironically, opening up the throttle slightly, the correct reaction in such a situation, seems harder than anything else. At the same time, the natural reaction seems to recoil backwards on the bike with the arms stiff and straight. However, it would be much more  beneficial to lean forward and relax the upper body.
