5 Main Causes of Motorcycle Crashes
Motorcycle enthusiasts across the state enjoy the flat, open highways Texas provides. While riding a motorcycle can be a thrilling experience, it can also be very dangerous even for experienced riders. The Texas Department of Transportation reports that an average of one motorcycle rider dies each day on Texas roads. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) also reported that motorcycle riders are 28 times more likely to be killed in a crash compared to passenger vehicle drivers and passengers. Because motorcyclists do not have the same protection as passenger vehicle drivers, wrecks involving them are much more likely to result in serious injury or death.
