We have to mentioned motorcycles are much smaller and lighter than cars, have only two wheels, and do not enclose the rider in a reinforced box. These characteristics, along with others, make motorcycle riding risker than driving a car. As compared to car accidents, motorcycle accidents are more likely to result in death or serious injury. Because motorcycles are smaller and more easily concealed by objects on or off the road, cars are less likely to see them, especially at intersections. Road hazards are common cause of motorcycle accidents. Things that have little effect on a car, like debris, uneven road surfaces, small objects, or wet pavement, can cause a motorcycle to crash. Motorcyclists should understand what constitutes a hazard, be alert for such dangers, and take precautions to avoid them.The good news is that bikers can take steps to reduce the risk of being in an accident, including getting professional training, being aware of and avoiding road hazards, maintaining the bike. Other steps, such as wearing proper protective clothing and helmet, can reduce risk of injury in motorcycle accidents.(
