Fatal Motorcycle Crash Statistics

Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data shows that 5,014 motorcyclists were killed in collisions in the United States last year. Since the early 1980s, the number of motorcycle deaths had been down, but in 1998, they began to rise again and remained so until in 2008.

Motorcycle riders are 16 times more likely to be injured and 35 times more likely to be killed in a collision than automobile passengers, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

Motorcycleroads.com, an online resource for finding motorcycle routes, tours, and events, lists the most roads in California under its ‘Top 100 Motorcycle Roads’ section. The United States is also home to the most motorcycles registered in the country. The state has registered almost 800,000 motorcycles.

Almost 70% of motorcycle accidents occur at intersections due to vehicles failing to detect the motorcycle. Even in the daytime, some drivers may struggle to spot motorbikes due to their low visibility.

Wearing reflective clothing is an excellent way to catch the eye of oncoming traffic. While some may find this unfashionable, it is more important to stay safe on the road than to make a statement with your driving style.
