Motorcycle enthusiasts appreciate Virginia’s spectacular scenery and the feeling of freedom on the open road. However, that same freedom makes those on motorcycles especially vulnerable when an accident occurs. A car’s steel frame absorbs some of the impact in a collision. The motorcyclist has no such protection.
Unfortunately it is not unusual for a collision between a motorcycle and a standard vehicle to result in the destruction of the bike and severe injuries to those on it, while the car itself is hardly damaged and its occupants unharmed. That is the primary reason so many motorcycle and car accidents end up with the cyclist either killed or severely injured.
Many times, the accident results from negligence on the motorist’s part, not that of the cyclist. Because these bikes are so small relative to other vehicles on the road, some drivers simply do not see them until it is too late.
