What is the most common type of crash between a motorcycle and other passenger vehicles?
A: Most crashes between passenger vehicles and motorcycles involve turning left, either at an intersection or into a private driveway. If you are preparing to cross traffic and turn left, ALWAYS take a second look for motorcycles. Due to the fact that motorcycles are much smaller than other vehicles and only have one headlight, it is harder for us to notice them and for our brains to process the fact that they are coming toward us. It is also extremely difficult to judge a motorcycle's closing speed, so you may see the motorcyclist and think you can turn in front of it, but before you know it, he or she is directly in your path.
