Accidentes de motocicleta
Riding a motorcycle is far more dangerous than being in a car. In fact, when looking at miles traveled, a person is 35 times more likely to be killed on a motorcycle than in a car. The number one factor in motorcycle-vehicle crashes where the vehicle driver was at fault is the conspicuousness of the motorcycle.
This means that in most crashes involving a motorcycle and a car, the car driver doesn’t see the motorcycle and then either collides with the bike or pulls into its path.

When a motorcycle rider is involved in an accident, there are some common injuries that occur. They are:
