Motorcycles and mopeds have become increasingly popular in recent years, especially among middle-aged Americans. There is no great mystery surrounding the reasons for this. Motorcycles are a very enjoyable way to travel, and they have become more affordable over time. Unfortunately, as they become more widely used, the number of motorcycle accidents has also increased.
Bikers face certain risks in accidents that drivers do not. They do not have the protection that a car can provide, and they risk falling during sharp turns or on rough roads. As a result, they are more likely to suffer major injuries or even die in traffic accidents.

- Driver error (most commonly a failure to observe bikers’ right of way)
- Reckless driving
- Dangerous road conditions
