Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycling is a favourite past time of many Canadians – however given the exposure to the elements, motorcycling can also be dangerous and expose riders to more serious injuries than those in car accidents. Motorcycles have incredible powerful brakes, ease of handling, tires that grasp well and obstruction free vision. An alert rider with presence of mind can avoid accidents and of course, adequate safety gear is essential to minimize injuries.
While the motorcycle rider need to keep alert and use the safety features at his or her disposal, it is important to take some additional measures to protect himself. See and be seen is a basic philosophy on the road to avoid accidents. Wearing brighter coloured helmets and jackets can help other motorist see you better. If you are riding at night, it is advisable to have a few glow in the dark strips on your Jacket and helmet.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents are blamed on a blind spots, distractions or not paying attention to the road or surroundings. Many accident reports in Ontario also suggest that cars turning left in front of motorcyclists, hitting gravel in a blind corner, entering corners too fast, cars changing lanes into the same lane as motorcyclists and cars hitting motorcyclists from behind are cited as many causes of motorcycle accidents.
