Motorcycle
 enthusiasts
 all
 over
 the
 city
 of
 Los
 Angeles
  look
 forward
 to
 biking
 season.
 The
 thrill
 of
 the
 open
  road
 with
 no
 physical
 barrier
 separa<ng
 the
 rider
 from
  the
 elements
 adds
 a
 level
 of
 excitement
 unknown
 to
  any
 other
 mode
 of
 transporta<on.
 Traveling
 via
  motorcycle,
 does,
 however,
 pose
 an
 increased
 risk
 of
  being
 involved
 in
 an
 accident,
 and,
 in
 recent
 years,
 the
  rate
 of
 accidents
 involving
 motorcycles
 has
 increased
  drama<cally.
 Due
 to
 these
 facts,
 it
 is
 very
 important
 for
  the
 rider
 to
 be
 armed
 with
 the
 knowledge
 of
 why
 this
  is
 happening
 to
 best
 prevent
 becoming
 part
 of
 the
  sta<s<c.
 
 

An
 obvious
 and
 easily
 avoidable
 cause
 of
 motorcycle
  accident's
 stem
 from
 inexperienced
 or
 debilitated
  drivers.
 The
 privilege
 to
 drive
 a
 motorcycle
 comes
  with
 special
 tes<ng,
 and
 this
 is
 done
 for
 a
 reason.
  Driving
 a
 motorcycle
 is
 different
 than
 riding
 a
 bicycle,
  and
 there
 is
 specific
 tes<ng
 that
 must
 be
 passed
  before
 an
 individual
 is
 adequately
 prepared
 to
 put
  their
 skills
 to
 the
 test,
 so
 one
 should
 never
 aEempt
 to
  ride
 a
 motorcycle
 if
 they
 do
 not
 possess
 proper
  licensing.
 Furthermore,
 even
 someone
 with
 a
 license
  should
 never
 aEempt
 to
 drive
 a
 motorcycle
 if
 under
  the
 influence
 of
 alcohol.
 
 

It
 is
 oIen
 misunderstood
 that
 motorcyclists
 crash
  more
 oIen
 than
 other
 motorists
 because
 they
  drive
 too
 quickly.
 This
 is
 not
 oIen
 the
 case,
 but
  speed
 can
 play
 a
 very
 important
 factor
 for
  another
 reason,
 and
 it
 can
 even
 involve
 going
 too
  slow.
 When
 there
 is
 a
 large
 gap
 between
 the
  speed
 of
 the
 cyclist
 and
 other
 traffic,
 the
 rider
 is
  faced
 with
 the
 risk
 of
 running
 into
 someone
 in
  front
 of
 them
 if
 they
 stop
 and
 they
 are
 moving
  too
 quickly,
 or
 being
 rear
 ended
 by
 someone
  behind
 them
 if
 the
 rider
 is
 not
 traveling
 fast
  enough.
 Authori<es
 recognize
 this
 risk,
 and
 busy
  roads
 oIen
 have
 a
 maximum
 AND
 minimum
  speed
 posted
 as
 a
 result.
 In
 the
 event
 that
 an
  accident
 does
 occur
 it
 is
 a
 good
 idea
 to
 contact
 a
  Los
 Angeles
 motorcycle
 accident
 aEorney.
 
 

The
 roads
 themselves
 pose
 unique
 dangers
 to
 the
  cyclist
 that
 are
 not
 as
 prominent
 to
 a
 car
 or
 other
  vehicle.
 For
 example,
 hiNng
 a
 deer
 is
 bad
 in
 a
 car,
  but
 can
 prove
 fatal
 to
 someone
 driving
 a
  motorcycle.
 Other
 common
 road
 condi<ons
 such
 as
  curbs,
 bumps
 and
 uneven
 patches
 can
 cause
 the
  driver
 to
 lose
 balance
 and
 crash.
 The
 common
  injuries
 incurred
 by
 accidents
 caused
 by
 these
  obstacles
 include
 spinal
 injury
 and
 serious
 damage
  to
 the
 lower
 half
 of
 the
 body.
 
 


 

Perhaps
 the
 biggest
 threat
 posed
 to
 the
 cyclist
 is
  the
 fact
 that
 they
 are
 some<mes
 hard
 to
 detect
 by
  other
 drivers.
 Over
 65
 percent
 of
 the
 accidents
 that
  occur
 involving
 motorcycles
 are
 caused
 by
 other
  motorists.
 They
 simply
 are
 not
 aware
 of
 the
  presence
 of
 the
 cyclist
 and
 not
 looking
 for
 them.
  Los
 Angeles
 does
 their
 best
 to
 make
 this
 problem
  understood
 for
 anyone
 tes<ng
 for
 a
 standard
  driver's
 license,
 however
 many
 fail
 to
 implement
  what
 they
 have
 learned
 on
 the
 road.
 Therefore,
 it
 is
  up
 to
 the
 cyclist
 to
 be
 on
 the
 lookout
 for
 poten<al
  dangers.
 
 

Riding
 a
 motorcycle
 is
 a
 fun
 way
 to
 enjoy
  leisure
 <me
 and
 should
 not
 be
 ceased
 due
 to
  these
 sta<s<cs.
 Being
 aware
 of
 the
 dangers
  that
 a
 motorcycle
 presents
 is
 the
 best
 armor
  the
 rider
 can
 use
 to
 shield
 him
 or
 herself
 from
  geNng
 hurt.
 In
 the
 event
 that
 an
 accident
 does
  occur,
 it's
 always
 advisable
 to
 contact
 a
  reputable
 Los
 Angeles
 motorcycle
 accident
  aEorney
 to
 represent
 the
 case.
