INTRODUCTION:

• The majority of motorcycle accidents aren't riders exceeding the limits of traction and sliding off into the weeds, but rather they're collisions with other vehicles, mostly automobiles. About 26 percent of urban motorcycle accidents are single vehicle accidents, as when a bike slides out on gravel in a corner. But 74 percent are multiple vehicle accidents, including at least one vehicle colliding with another.
• The important point of this big picture is that almost three-fourths of urban motorcycle crashes are collisions. And roughly half of those motorcycle crashes are precipitated by auto drivers. About a fourth of all city motorcycle accidents are col- lisions with left-turning cars.
• The two most common errors motorcyclists make are believing the other driver sees them and not taking any evasive action. For example. 32 percent of accident victims rode into a collision without doing anything. If you ride around in city traffic, it is important to know where collisions occur, what they look like, and the correct evasive action to get out of the way. The Experienced Rider Course (ERC) offered at motorcycle training sites can help you develop such skills.
• If you haven't taken the ERC recently, you may have missed some important accident avoidance strategies. About one-fourth of all motorcycle accidents in the Hurt Report were precipitat- ed by rider error. For example, the motorcyclist goes wide in a turn and sideswipes a car or overcooks the rear brake trying to stop and then slides out.
• We might suspect that such riders don't really understand how to control their motorcycles. So that's probably a good hint that we ought to study our control skills.
