What Are The Most Common Causes Of Motorcycle Accidents Across California?
One of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents in California, in my experience, is vehicles making left-hand turns in front of motorcycles. When vehicles make left-hand turns, they often don’t see the motorcyclist, either because they’re not paying attention or because they misjudge the speed.
Other common cause of motorcycle accidents include:
- Head-on collisions, where vehicles come across the dividing line of the roadway.
- Drunk driving, either by the person driving the vehicle, the person driving the motorcycle, or both
- Motorcycles splitting lanes and vehicles making quick lane changes trying to save time in traffic
- Road hazards.
- Inattention
- People texting and looking at their phones
Many different things can cause a motorcyclist to go down.
