Motorcycle accident claims and rider eyesight

Any rider or driver who takes to the road should ensure that he or she is able to see clearly enough to competently negotiate the various road hazards which will inevitably be encountered.

Not having good enough eyesight or failing to wear corrective lenses risks a road traffic accident and, potentially, liability for a motorcycle accident claim.

Deterioration in eyesight
It's one thing to have good eyesight at the time of your driving or riding test, but if your eyesight deteriorates after that test and you do not take the necessary action, i.e. wearing glasses or contact lenses, you risk not only your own safety and those of any passengers but also that of other road users.

In 2007, research by a motor insurance company revealed that as many as 50% of drivers had believed that their eyesight had deteriorated since their last driving test – yet only a fraction of these said that they had done anything about this.

Lost spectacles or contact lenses
It's a familiar dilemma – you're leaving the house to ride or drive somewhere, only you can't locate your spectacles on contact lenses.

"Now, where are they?" you wonder exasperatedly while turning the sofa upside down, looking under piles of bills and rootling through mounds of clothes.

However, it is important that you are not ever tempted to leave without them. This is because to do so may make you a road hazard, meaning you risk both an accident and liability for any subsequent motorcycle accident claim.

It's best to be safe. In fact, it's not at all a bad idea to keep a pair of spectacles or a ready supply of contact lenses in your car or motorbike.
