How Do Car Accidents Compare To Motorcycle Accidents In California?

Motorcycles are by their very nature more dangerous than cars – that’s what draws riders to them. While motorcycles are just 3 percent of all registered vehicles, they account for a disproportionate amount of fatalities and injuries.

Here’s how car and motorcycle accidents compare.

Both motorcycle and car accidents are the same in that both are often created by speeding or driving under the influence.

There are more than 11 million car accidents every year. The causes may be grouped into two main reasons: driver error and other causes like weather or road conditions, health emergencies, and vehicle failure.

Causes of car accidents include:

• Distracting driving
• Driver fatigue
• Alcohol and/or speeding
• Aggressive driving

Causes of motorcycle accidents include:

• Car making a left-hand turn
• Lane splitting
• Speeding and alcohol
• Collision with an object
• Road hazards
