Motorcycle Accidents Statistics

More than 8.6 million motorcycles have been registered attests to their continued popularity as a reasonably priced mode of transportation.

The inherent instability and inability to shield the rider and passenger from severe injury in the event of an accident is bound to come up in any conversation about motorcycles.

The number of people killed in car crashes in 2020 was 42,338, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This year’s rate is higher than 2019’s total of 39,107 fatalities. About seventy-five percent of motorcycle accidents involve a collision with a car.

Compared to drivers of other vehicles, motorcyclists in fatal accidents in 2020 had the highest rate of alcohol impairment.

Most motorcycle accidents occur at intersections because the other vehicle disobeys traffic laws by changing lanes or failing to stop at a stop sign or light, endangering the motorcyclist’s life.

Having only two wheels rather than four makes motorcycles less stable than other vehicles. Therefore, the rider’s competence is crucial for controlling the vehicle. Motorcyclists face a greater risk of collisions than car, truck, or SUV drivers.
