Over the past few years Motorcycle Accidents have increased rapidly which is scary as the statistics of serious injuries and death is also continues to rise. 75% of all motorcycle accidents are the result of a collision with another vehicle may it be a car, another bike, bus and or a lorry. 65% of these accidents are because the driver of the other vehicle didn't see the motorcyclist which usually happens at night-time which is when motorcyclists are at their most vulnerable.
Other accidents that involve motorcyclists include motorcyclists negotiating road curves at high speeds and under-cornering, motorcyclists failing to see objects in the road, riding under the influence of drugs or alcohol and also not looking after your bike - bad maintenance including having a flat tyre which can make a motorcyclist collide with another vehicle.
The most likely motorcyclist to have an accident is a male biker between the ages of 16-24 and also 50% of these accidents are with riders who have less than 5 months experience and this does include scooters. Bad weather only accounts for 2% of motorcycle accidents which is quite surprising.
