Causes of Motorcycle accidents
Motorcyclists, like other drivers, often make poor decisions or make mistakes while driving their vehicles. It doesn’t matter if the driver isn’t experienced enough, careless, or sober, it can lead to performance mistakes, dangerous decisions, or motorcycle accidents. Motorcyclist negligence is most often involved in motorcycle accidents. It includes, but is not limited to:
1) Speeding: This is the most serious form of motorist negligence and is a factor in nearly one in three fatal motorcycle accidents. Speeding is a major factor in motorcycle accidents that result in death. Speeding can make it hard for motorists to pay attention and respond to their surroundings. However, it can increase the chance that motorcyclists or drivers (anyone speeding) lose control of their vehicles and cause accidents.
2) Drunk driving and riding: Nearly one in three fatal motorcycle accidents is caused by alcohol impairment. Motorcyclists in fatal accidents have the highest levels of alcohol impairment than any other motorist. The 40-44 year olds had the highest alcohol impairment in fatal wrecks (Source: NHTSA). While drunk riding is illegal in Louisiana, and all other states, many people choose to do it anyway. These impaired drivers often cause accidents.
3) Distraction or inattention: Drivers who fail to pay attention to traffic can miss key changes in their driving environment. Riders in high-traffic areas can be blinded, run red lights or do other dangerous maneuvers that could lead to motorcycle accidents.
Motorcycle accidents can occur when riders or drivers fail to obey traffic laws. These include not yielding the right-of way, driving the wrong route down one-way streets or tailgating motorists. If a motorist doesn’t follow traffic laws, the risk of motorcycle accidents (or traffic collisions) is higher.
