Accidents involving Motorcycle Drivers

They see motorcycle drivers are reckless. This could not be further from the truth! On the roadways of Georgia an appreciable number of motor vehicle crashes occur due to distracted drivers, who are focusing more on their cell phones, the coffee in their hand, or getting to their next destination. Most auto crashes with motorcyclist occur because a driver took his eyes off the roadway, they were following too closely, or they were tired or failed to completely check their surroundings. We all must learn to share the road. Motorcycles are everywhere.

Due to the weight and sheer size of a semi-truck major damage to any other vehicle, pedestrian, or motorcycle that crosses their path can be caused. When drivers are inexperienced, intoxicated, or careless, or if the truck was badly loaded or poorly maintained, it could cause a serious accident.
