Fatal Motorcycle Crash Statistics

Data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) reveals that 5,014 motorcycle riders died in collisions in the US in 2016. The number of motorcycle fatalities had been decreasing since the early 1980s, but starting in 1998, they began to rise once more and stayed that way until 2008.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcyclists are 16 times more likely than passengers in cars to sustain injuries in a collision and 35 times more likely to die in one.

The majority of the roads in California are listed under the “Top 100 Motorcycle Roads” section of Motorcycleroads.com, a website for finding motorcycle routes, tours, and events. Most of the nation’s registered motorcycles are also in the United States. There are nearly 800,000 motorcycles registered in the state.

Due to vehicles’ failure to recognize the motorcycle, intersections account for nearly 70% of motorcycle accidents. Due to their low visibility, motorbikes may make it difficult for some drivers to see them even during the day.

Reflective clothing is a great way to draw oncoming traffic’s attention. While some might consider this unfashionable, driving with care is more important than making a statement.
