Moped and Motorcycle Accidents in Michigan

Motorcycle and moped accidents in Michigan continue to be a major concern. In a recent year, the Michigan State Police reported over 2,900 motorcycle-involved crashes statewide, many of which resulted in serious injuries or fatalities. Riders face additional risks due to limited visibility and lack of protection compared to passenger vehicles.

Understanding what leads to these crashes can help raise awareness. Here are some key factors:

• Limited Visibility: Mopeds and motorcycles are often harder for other drivers to see, especially at intersections or during lane changes, increasing crash risks.
• Speeding: Speeding by either the rider or nearby vehicles can reduce reaction times, leading to severe collisions.
• Impaired Riding: Operating a moped or motorcycle under the influence of drugs or alcohol significantly raises the likelihood of losing control and crashing.
• Road Hazards: Small debris, potholes, and uneven pavement pose greater dangers to riders compared to those in larger vehicles.
• Lack of Protective Gear: Not wearing helmets and other protective gear can lead to far more serious injuries when accidents occur.
