Motorcycle accidents are very common in Florida due to our weather conditions and lifestyle. To many, it is a hobby or even a way to save money on gas prices. Unfortunately, these accidents occur more often than we would like to think—according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there was a “7-percent increase” in motorcycle fatalities from 4,630 to 4,957 from 2011 to 2012. A clear lack of thorough research on motorcycles is apparent when seeking figures and causes for common causes of crashes.
However, one thing is clear: per mile traveled, “motorcyclists were more than 26 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a traffic crash.” The risk factor exists, and it’s up to all of us as motorists and drivers to be aware of motorcycles and vice versa for optimum safety practices.
