Motorcycle awareness month, so you're going to see posts about it. I keep seeing a lot of comments about the riders being careless. It's both the riders and the cagers. EVERYONE needs to pay attention and Don't drink & drive or ride. Here are some statistics I found...
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s Highway Loss Data Institute report found that:
More than half of motorcyclist deaths involved at least one other vehicle.
42 percent of two-vehicle fatal motorcycle crashes involved a vehicle turning left while the motorcycle was going straight, passing, or overtaking the vehicle.
A little less than half of all motorcycle driver deaths involved no other vehicle.
Of the 1,791 motorcycle deaths that involved only the motorcyclist.
48 percent were speeding.
42 percent had blood alcohol concentrations of 0.08 percent or higher.
