What causes motorcycle accidents?

An increase in motorcycle and scooter sales form 2002- 2005 corresponds with the increase of deaths and personal injuries sustained from motorcycle accidents.

Young, inexperienced male riders are more likely to be involved in a moped, scooter and motorcycle accidents, especially where they lose control of the vehicle. However, many road accidents involving motorcycles are caused by other traffic. For example, car drivers often fail to see motorcycles among the traffic and this can result in a collision.

Other causes of motorcycle accidents may include a rider crashing into fixed objects such as walls, trees or lamp posts. Uneven road surfaces and potholes also account for some motorbike accidents. Animals running out into the road can cause motorcycle riders to swerve and skid on the road, causing road accidents. It is rare but motorbike defects or engine failure can cause an accident. Weather such as heavy winds can also cause motorcycles to overbalance and rain causes slippery surfaces that motorcycles can skid on.

Drunk driving is a major cause of vehicle accidents. Drunk drivers are a menace on the roads as their awareness and concentration is decreased by the alcohol. Also, they may make more daring, dangerous decisions as their inhibitions are decreased, causing road accidents. Drink drivers are even less likely to see motorcycles on the roads and this increases the chances of a motorcycle accident.
