Riding a motorcycle needs experience, expertise and quick suitable judgment. If you want to be an expert motorcycle rider then you need to have the abilities mentioned above in order to avoid motorcycle accidents. Below are the usual causes of motorcycle accidents in the UK:
Country Road Bends
Motorcycle riders often bring their bikes out to ride in the country side. Problem is the road in the city is entirely different from country roads. In this area a rider should use all his abilities in a different way. Beware of bends in the country side because they are often treacherous for motorcycle riders. It is good to slow down in this particular area before making a move. You may also want to follow some clues that can help you steer clear of possible collisions. Check out the line of trees, hedges and telegraph poles because they often follow the shape of the road.
Collision at Junctions
Almost all motorcycle involved accidents happen at junctions. This is due to the fact that other drivers may not see you on the other side and decide to cross over without thinking much. This is where the saying “no matter how careful you are, if other drivers are not then you’re still prone to any accident” applies. Others may not see your bike because of its size. Some drivers cannot know exactly the speed of the motorcycle and have difficulty judging it.
When you’re riding a motorcycle always think about what will happen if you’re involved in an accident with a car. You and your ride will usually get the greatest amount of damage because of the unprotected nature of motorcycles. So be very careful wherever you are.
Overtaking Collisions
If you’re riding a motorcycle and you decide to overtake the car in front of you, be very alert. In this situation you must use all your senses and proper judgment to ensure your safety. Always learn the acceleration speed of your bike and the reaction of its break in different gears. It pays to know more about your bike before riding it.
You must avoid overtaking in these following places: junctions, bends, pedestrian crossings, hills or dips in the roads, lay bys and when there is a sign not to overtake.
Always ensure that you see the road ahead of you to make sure there are no other vehicles approaching on the other side of the road before overtaking. You need to have a complete view to eliminate a possible vehicle collision. Also take note how a driver would react when you overtake them. Almost all of them give way, however, there are certain drivers who might do just the opposite.
If you are manoeuvrings through traffic always be prepared. You cannot see and move well on the road when there is a lot of traffic.
Loss of Control
This is one of the most common reasons of motorcycle accidents. Since you need a good sense of balance to control a motorcycle then you need to always stay in control. But there are always reasons when a motorcycle loses control. It includes manhole covers, mud, poor weather conditions, pot holes, and oil spills.
When riding a motorcycle, your life depends on two rubber rings, the wheels so make sure the tyres are always in good condition before making a trip.
Always think ahead of time to avoid losing control of your ride. Make sure to take note about some clues to determine the current condition of the road you’re following.
If unluckily you’ve been in a motorcycle accident that is not your fault, then you are entitled to make a motorcycle accident claim for the injuries and damages the accident incurred. Talk to a personal injury solicitor to know how to file a claim.
