As spring turns into summer, bikers from all around are taking advantage of the weather and heading outdoors for the first time in months. However, with the increase in motorcycles on the road, motorcycle accidents are more likely to occur. The Law Offices of Barry G. Doyle mostly see accidents caused by a motorist failing to yield. In many cases, a driver may pull out of a parking lot or open their car door in front of a biker, causing a serious accident. It’s essential that drivers be aware of other drivers on the road, especially motorcyclists, and take the necessary precautions to avoid accidents. CHECK YOUR BLIND SPOTS. Due to their size in comparison to other vehicles, motorcycles are much easier to miss in blind spots. Be sure to check your blind spots thoroughly before merging or switching lanes. LOOK TWICE. Making sure to check, and check again, for a motorcycle is vital. Motorcycles appear smaller in the distance than regular cars, and therefore it’s harder to judge their distance and speed. Give a motorcycle more space and time than you would another vehicle when turning, changing lanes, or merging into traffic. GIVE THEM SPACE . A car or truck is a lot heavier and slower to react than a motorcycle, which is why it’s important to give them plenty of space if you’re following one. This is also crucial when the weather’s bad. Wet pavement makes it harder for a motorcyclist to react, including breaking or turning. Following at a distance gives them the time they need to act safely. KEEP IN MIND. Unlike getting into an accident with another vehicle, a motorcycle accident is much more likely to be fatal for bikers. Being cautious and giving a biker the time and space they need to make decisions out on the road will minimize accidents altogether.
