Causes of Car vs. Motorcycle Collisions
A person riding a motorcycle is in greater danger of being involved in an accident than someone driving the same distance in a car. Although many factors contribute to why this may be, one thing for sure is motorcycles lack safety features such as airbags and seat belts which cars have built-in equipment. In addition, they travel much faster than most vehicles, so it’s more difficult to avoid collisions with other drivers or objects around them like pedestrians crossing the street, etcetera.
Motorcycles suffer from not having any protection against accidents while driving, so their rate of being injured during crashes usually outweighs those who drive automobiles – even though studies show motorcyclists make up only 3% of all people traveling long distances.
The number of car vs. motorcycle collisions has been steadily increasing over the last decade, with no sign of slowing down anytime soon. In fact, between 2002 and 2012, these accidents have increased by more than 50%. This increase is likely related to a few different factors. Still, primarily it can be attributed to the rise in fuel prices for motorcyclists who are not able to afford such high costs as they once could before 2008 when gas was at its peak price per gallon, which drove many people away from motorcycles altogether because their alternative would cost them too much money on top of what they were already paying for the gasoline each week.
Car vs. Motorcycle Injuries
Motorcycle crashes are usually far more severe than car accidents. Motorcycles typically lack safety features like airbags and seat belts, which can lead to life-threatening injuries in the event of an accident or crash. Statistics show that head trauma from motorcycle crashes is over ten times as likely on a per capita basis than for passenger cars because riders do not wear helmets and any impact with another vehicle sends them flying through the windscreen into traffic where they may be slammed by vehicles coming at high speed directly behind them rather than being thrown back onto their own two wheels – so it’s no surprise that motorcycles tend to create much larger craters when crashed due to this initial contact between the rider and other objects such as road signs, trees, buildings, etc.,
