Crashes Involving Motorcycles in California

There are vehicles of all types on the road; some are more vulnerable in accidents than others. For example, large trucks cannot turn or stop easily. Motorcycles lack the protection a car’s body provides.

In order to keep everyone safe on the road, drivers must remain alert. Since motorcycles are a popular form of transportation in California, drivers should train themselves to keep an eye out for motorcycles just as they do for cars.
