What are the Risks of Riding Motorcycle


November 30th, 2009 | Posted in Blog, main blog

Riding a motorcycle on the open road is one of the greatest joys in life. But as you know, sharing the road with cars puts you at risk—you are virtually invisible to all those driving cars. Motorcycle registration in California State has increased in the last decade and a study done by the Motorcycle Rider Safety Task Force shows that motorcycle fatalities are also raising. They have been steadily increasing since 2003. Serious motorcycle traumas have been steadily increasing as well.

The study also discovered some surprising facts:

  • Most motorcycle fatalities occur during daylight hours in dry weather;
  • More than 80% of fatalities occur between April and September, which are the prime months for riding;
  • The common contributing factors to motorcycle fatalities are lane error, speeding, alcohol and inattention;
  • A third of motorcycle fatalities involved motorcyclists who didn’t have a valid motorcycle endorsement;
  • While many fatalities involve young men, fatalities are also distributed among all age groups;
  • Most fatalities involve men. In the last decade, the proportion of male to female fatalities was seven to one.

As you can see, if you ride, there’s a definite chance that you may be injured. It’s extremely important that you receive proper training on riding and educate yourself about the laws and requirements in California State.
