What’s the leading cause of motorcycle accidents?

It’s not riders. A 1998 study by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), a federal government agency, found the top cause of motorcycle accidents:

Other drivers (i.e. cars or trucks) who violate the rider’s right of way.

So take heed, cage drivers! Look out for motorcycles! NHTSA’s comprehensive analysis of the problem gives tips to help both drivers and motorcyclists avoid tragic or even fatal accidents:

• Drivers, avoid the deadliest of sins. Don’t drive distracted. Cars and trucks present way too many options to develop fatal habits that take your attention off the road. When driving, just drive. No food, no phone calls, and certainly no texts. Just the road ahead.
• Riders should follow these tips and wear bright colors.
