How you can avoid the 5 most common motorcycle accidents
Ride Safe : Collisions at Junctions
These can be down to a driver failing to give way or stop and fall into the category of “sorry mate, I didn’t see you”. Many of them happen at T-junctions but they can happen at other junctions.
Some road users are desperate to take any opportunity to join the flow of traffic. They may not spot your bike in the traffic even though you think you are easy to see. There is research showing that drivers have difficulty judging the speed of a bike and underestimate the bike’s time of arrival.
Always remember that if there is a collision between a car and your bike, you and the bike will come off worst whoever is at fault. Consider how you would deal with the vehicle unexpectedly pulling out in front of you.
