What Are the Dangers of Riding a Motorcycle?

Riding a motorcycle can be addictive. But how dangerous is hitting the streets of Los Angeles for a motorcyclist, really?

Contrary to the popular belief, owning a bike doesn’t necessarily mean getting into motorcycle accidents every single day.

In fact, some of our motorcycle accident attorneys have been riding bikes for more than a decade and never got into a single accident.

Make sure you stay safe on the streets of Los Angeles by avoiding these most common dangers for a motorcyclist:

ONCOMING TRAFFIC: Whether the car driver is texting and driving, falling asleep behind the wheel, catching up with the latest episode of Game of Thrones or eating pizza leftovers while driving, there’s always a risk of colliding with oncoming traffic. That’s why you should keep a sharp eye out for such drivers and ride like everybody is trying to murder you with their cars.

CAR TURNING IN FRONT OF YOU This is the most common type of motorcycle accidents. When a car is turning in front of a motorcycle, it can be deadly to the biker, but do little to not damage to the car itself.

Statistics shows that the car driver is usually to blame for such a car-motorcycle collision, as the driver doesn’t assess the biker’s speed correctly or fails to notice him/her at all.

OPENED CAR DOORS Motorcyclists smashing into opened doors of parked cars are just as dangerous and common. While it almost never happens on an open road, riding the streets of Los Angeles with so many parked cars can be life-threatening for a biker.

The one way to avoid it is to never ride a bike between a lane of active traffic car and a row of parked cars.

CARS CHANGING LANES Car drivers changing lanes without monitoring the blind spots is also a common cause of motorcycle and Car Accident in Los Angeles, as many drivers tend to ignore the presence of motorcyclists on the road.

That’s why it’s best to stay away from the blind spots where a car driver can’t see you in their side or rear view mirrors.

If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident, don’t hesitate to consult motorcycle accidents in Los Angeles order to obtain a fair settlement
