While riding motorcycles may be our passion, it is an unfamiliar method of transportation to the majority of the public. Commonly, motorcycle accidents result in serious injuries. Operating a motorcycle on the roadways requires safety measures, especially in New Jersey.

Some of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents occur as a result of the following:

• Inexperience. It is important for a motorcyclist to have formal training and safety education prior to operating the motorcycle, especially on major highways or in heavy traffic conditions.
• Weather. Factors such as rain, sleet, snow, and ice can lead to serious accidents. Motorcycles have less traction than an automobile and should not be driven in poor weather conditions.
• Speed. Speed is a contributing factor in most motorcycle accidents. Traveling at a high rate of speed may cause the operator to lose control of the motorcycle. Given the lack of physical protection, these accidents can be fatal.
• Left Turns or Weaving Between Lanes. Automobile drivers may have a hard time seeing an approaching motorcycle, especially if the operator is speeding. If a driver misjudges a motorcyclist’s distance, he or she may merge or turn into the person. It is important for a motorcyclist to always be aware of his or her surroundings.
• Alcohol or Drugs. Alcohol and drugs should never be used when operating any vehicle, but especially not a motorcycle. Operating a motorcycle under the influence will affect a person’s cognitive and physical abilities.
• Road Conditions.  Unsafe road conditions provide less traction for the motorcycle. Hitting a pothole, sand or gravel can cause the motorcyclist to fall or drift off course into incoming traffic. Doing tricks while operating a vehicle not only poses a risk of injury to the motorcycle operator but to all motorists on the road.

While motorcyclists must take extra precautions on the road, the majority of the accidents occur as a result of another driver’s negligence.
