Troopers have revealed that recent statistics have shown that an accident involving a motorcycle is 35 times more likely to end in serious injuries and even fatalities than a car or truck crash. When the sun is out and the traffic becomes a burden, more motorcyclists are seen and more accidents are bound to occur.

The California Highway Patrol has urged motorists to keep it in mind that one of the major risk factors related to motorcycles and accidents is the fact that drivers have a certain difficulty to spot motorcyclists since they may not appear on their side mirrors. Another factor could be the incapacity of certain drivers to judge the speed of a moving motorcyclist, which could lead to an accident since a driver could attempt to make a left turn right in front of an oncoming motorcycle.

To avoid accidents that could claim lives, the California Highway Patrol is launching several educational campaigns that aim at making the road safer for motorcyclists and drivers alike to teaching how sharing the road is crucial.

If you have any questions related to this campaign and wish to participate in any way, contact the California Highway Patrol branch near you and ask more information.

According to the news, this high number of tickets were all issued by California Highway Patrol officials during the month of April while the authorities in California enforced the state’s cellphone ban and distracted driving laws. This focused endeavor was part of last month’s campaign to bring distracted driving awareness to motorists all across the state.

Troopers who have been working closely to the traffic in the North Bay area say that about 5,900 tickets were handed to motorists during the month of April in the San Francisco Bay area alone.

California Highway Patrol troopers urge drivers to keep it in mind that using an electronic device to communicate while behind the wheel is against the law. If you’re texting while driving or talking over the phone without using a hands-free device, troopers will hand you a ticket.

Drive safely and listen to what any personal injury attorney would tell you: it’s better to be safe than sorry.

If you’re involved in an auto accident that may have been caused by a driver who was using his or her cellphone while behind the wheel, you might want to consult with a seasoned personal injury attorney to ask for a free evaluation of your case.
