Unfortunately, the failure of motorists to detect or recognise motorbikes in traffic is the predominant cause of such accidents. Very often, the driver of the other vehicle did not see the motorcycle, or did not see it until it was too late.
Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to injuries when involved in an accident because of the lack of protection afforded by a motorbike, when compared to a car. The injuries are often serious and cause permanent disability.
