DUI Motorcycle Accidents in California

Sadly, approximately 5,286 motorcyclists lost their lives in motorcycle accidents nationwide in 2016. Most motorcycle accidents occur when drivers make left turns in front of oncoming riders, which happens because of driver’s inattention. It’s harder for drivers to pay attention to the roads and abide by traffic laws when they’re under the influence, which is how they put themselves and motorcyclists at serious risk of sustaining injuries.
