How often do you check your mirrors to see what’s around you? Chances are that you don’t check them often enough!
According to the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) 5,154 people died in a motorcycle accidents. How many of those accidents could have been prevented if a motor vehicle driver would have properly checked the space around them? Quite a few I’m sure.
Not all of those 5,154 accidents in 2007 were motorcycle to motor vehicle accidents, but I’m willing to bet that quite a few were. It’s no secret that riding a motorcycle is significantly more dangerous than driving a car, but that doesn’t stop a large portion of the US driving population. Motorcycle’s are a lot of fun and are generally in the hands of respectable drivers but every now and then you can come across someone who should not be driving a motorcycle.
