Many motorcyclists in the Orange County area ride because they crave the excitement of being free on the open road with the wind in their face. They ride because they like being able to get around traffic jams easier. People ride motorcycles because it can be more economical and efficient than driving a car or other vehicle.
Whatever the reason that a person takes to riding a motorcycle, it probably isn’t because they’re looking to experience a catastrophic injury from a motorcycle accident. Too often, however, traumatic injuries like neck and head injuries or broken bones can result from motorcycle accidents. Compared to people in larger vehicles, motorcyclists have little protection to keep riders safe in the event of an accident. But many of these accidents could be prevented if the people in the cars and trucks would be more attentive and cautious when they are driving near motorcycles.
