A motorcyclist is 29 times more likely to die in an accident than someone in a passenger car.\u00a0Motorcycle collisions can occur based on a number of reasons, some of which are avoidable while others are inevitable. Here are the seven most common causes of motorcycle accidents and how to prevent them from happening.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Speeding\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, lower motorcycle speeds are going to be the safest recommendation. However, riders should still be within range of the legal speed limit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take notice of what the limit is and remain at least five miles per hour beneath it. When it is dark or raining, you must go even slower.&nbsp;Empty roads are dangerous when you are speeding. For example, you may come across an ice patch and lose control of your bike<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is never any reason to exceed the speed limit. Failing to do so causes motorcycle accidents.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Unsafe Lane Changes\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many motorcycle accidents occur without the motorcycle touching another vehicle. The rider falls off their motorcycle as they try a fast lane change and\u00a0suffers a serious injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before switching lanes, you should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li>Put on your blinkers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Signal with your hands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slow down<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Change lanes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not cut across multiple lanes at once. Make one change, ride forward, then make another change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never assume that you have been seen. If you are in someone else\u2019s blind spot, do not change lanes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are turning around a corner, make sure you know what is around the bend. If you cannot see clearly, slow down or stop your bike and wait until you have a clearer picture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Riding While Intoxicated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DUI-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Beer in a glass \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Driving while drunk or under the influence of drugs is blatantly dangerous and illegal. The danger is amplified when you are on a motorcycle. You may be unable to position your body appropriately to make turns or avoid obstacles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never go on your motorcycle after you\u2019ve had something to drink. According to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/campaign\/ride-sober\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Highway Traffic Safety Administration<\/a>, even a blood alcohol concentration of as low as .02 leads to a decline in visual functions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, prescription medications are capable of making people feel drowsy. If you must take your medication, wait at least one hour to see how you feel before riding home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it\u2019s understandable that you don\u2019t want to leave your bike behind to take an Uber\/Lyft home, the alternatives are much worse. Between getting in an accident or getting arrested for a DUI, the consequences of riding while under the influence have too many repercussions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Not Observant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many drivers run into motorcyclists because they do not see them. This is sometimes no fault of the riders themselves. However, bikers can adopt some strategies, so they are more visible, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li>Wearing bright colors with reflective materials or a reflective vest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensuring maintenance is up to date so blinkers, taillights, and headlights are functioning properly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Observing neighboring vehicles\u2019 driving patterns (swerving, braking abruptly, speeding, etc.) and keeping a distance from the drivers who appear distracted or careless<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Trucks Cause Motorcycle Accidents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trucks have four blind spots. One lies directly in front of their vehicle, while the other lies directly behind it. Two spots extend out from the cab mirror, with the right-side spot extending over two lanes of traffic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You must get out of these spots whenever possible. If you need to adjust your speed, you should do so without any hesitation. Try to get away from the truck if you can.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Vehicles Making Turns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When cars make <a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/the-fine-print\/why-are-left-turns-so-dangerous\/\">left-hand turns<\/a>, they may cut in front of a motorcycle\u2019s pathway. When you see a driver signal or prepare for a left-hand turn, slow down and yield to them to provide more turning space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some drivers do see a motorcyclist but assume that they will maneuver out of their way before they make their turn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never assume. Adopt good defensive techniques and avoid coming into close proximity with motorists who do not appear to be familiar with the roads.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Abrupt Stops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/iStock-851321826-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Stop sign\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Motorcycles can get rear-ended, causing them to fall forward and suffer&nbsp;traumatic brain injuries. One reason for rear-end collisions is abrupt stops.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you see an object in the road, avoid applying your brakes to prevent a sudden stop. Slow down and move into another lane.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you must make a stop along a roadway, change lanes until you get to the shoulder of the road. Pull into the breakdown lane and stop your ride there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Inclement Weather<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slick surfaces are harder to maneuver and stop on. If possible, do not go for a ride after it has rained or snowed or while it is raining or snowing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you must go for a ride in inclement weather, take precautions to protect yourself. Wear a helmet always, gloves, and pads over your joints. Wear a thick jacket and pants that won\u2019t tear if you fall onto the ground.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Seven Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most common causes of motorcycle accidents include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li>Speeding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improper lane changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drinking and riding\/driving<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Negligence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vehicles making turns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Immediate stops<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Poor weather conditions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, contact a <a href=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/practice-areas\/motorcycle-accidents\/\">motorcycle accident attorney<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-author align wp-block-dklaw-author has-text-color has-primary-black-color has-background has-tertiary-blue-background-color\"><div class=\"dklaw-author__block\"><div class=\"dklaw-author__image\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/dklaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_2110-1024x683.jpg);\"><\/div><div><p class=\"dklaw-author__block-about\">About the Author<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-heading-serif\">Nikita Patwari<\/h4><h6><\/h6><p>As the blog writer for DK Law, I specialize in creating clear, informative, and approachable legal content for individuals and families navigating personal injury and wrongful death cases across California.
