Motorcycle Accidents in California

In 2013, almost 500 motorcyclists reportedly lost their lives on California roads. When drivers turn in front of motorcyclists at intersections, it’s often that they’re failing to yield the right of way. Distractions play a huge role in why so many motorcyclists lose their lives. Because motorcyclists are already more difficult to see than regular-sized vehicles, if drivers are looking down at their phones while they’re turning, they’re less likely to see an oncoming motorcyclist and accidentally cause serious damages.
