The failure of motorists to detect
and recognize motorcycles in traf-

automobile/motorcycle accidents.
Many accidents have been caused
by an automobile driver who did
not see the motorcycle. Making
yourself conspicuous appears to
be very effective in reducing the
chance of this type of accident.
Therefore:
• Wear a brightly colored jacket.
• Use extra caution when ap-
proaching and passing through
intersections, since intersec-
tions are the most likely places
for motorcycle accidents to oc-

• Ride where other motorists can
see you. Avoid riding in another
motorist’s blind spot.
●
Many motorcycle accidents in-
volve inexperienced operators. In
fact, many operators who have
been involved in accidents do not
even have a current motorcycle li-
cense.
• Make sure that you are qualified
and that you only lend your
motorcycle to other qualified op-

• Know your skills and limits.
Staying within your limits may
help you to avoid an accident.
• We recommend that you prac-

have become thoroughly famil-
iar with the motorcycle and all of
its controls.

been caused by error of the motor-
cycle operator. A typical error
made by the operator is veering
