Motorcycles - Fun but Serious
There are numerous makes and models of motorcycle available today, from the streamlined “crotch rockets” to the legendary Harley Davidson. Motorcycles have long been the symbols of liberation and freedom. Unlike a car, which shields you from the riding experience, a motorcycle puts you in touch with your surroundings, providing a road experience that is unmatched!
However, there is a dark side to motorcycle ownership that every cyclist should face and that is the traumatizing effects of a motorcycle accident. This makes a motorcycle an awesome responsibility, especially since routine maintenance can keep the bike in top shape, and decease the likelihood of a crash.
But even with due care take on the part of the biker, a motorcycle accident can occur.
Although most motorcycle accidents are the fault of the car driver, the biker is ten times more likely to be killed or harmed than the driver of an automobile.
This is because the very things that give you a sense of oneness with the road can also bring about your destruction, and that is the fact that there is no protective encasement around the rider. Most times, a biker is hit and thrown completely. In these scenarios, the rider may be struck by oncoming traffic or simply killed by an impact with the highway itself.
Those who survive but are injured could be maimed for life and may have to undergo extensive physical therapy and rehabilitation in order to function on their own.
In some cases, they may not be able to and may need the help and assistance of a caregiver for the rest of their lives after a motorcycle accident.
As tempting as it can be for people to blame motorcyclists for their injuries, one has to keep in mind that they have a right to be on the road, and that car drivers have a responsibility as well, to watch out for all motorists, including bikers. As stated before, most bikersare not even at fault for the accident, in fact, most motorcyclists are safe and careful drivers who fully obey highway laws.
