There are as many factors that can cause disasters on the road when using a motorcycle as there are accidents. Many different factors come into play, all of which can be avoidable. However, many of them are mistakes that are commonly made.

That is why it is important to be aware of the problems, mistakes, and/or reasons why you have a motorcycle accident to avoid them, without leaving aside the importance of contacting a Mississauga personal injury lawyer immediately in case you are involved in one.

Factors that can lead to a motorcycle accident

- Speeding or inappropriate speed: high speed increases the risk of an accident by causing you to lose control of your motorcycle. Likewise, when driving, you should not only adjust to the maximum speed allowed, but also to the circumstances of the moment (lighting, weather, traffic, type, or condition of the road).

- Sudden braking: having only two wheels contributes to a lower balance of the vehicle, so you should be more cautious when braking to avoid accidents.

- Slippery surface or objects on the road: it is not possible to predict when an oil stain, gravel, a dead animal, or any other object will be on the road, but you should adapt your driving to the conditions.

- Inexperience and lack of agility in maneuvering: the lack of practice and knowledge of the operation or behavior of the motorcycle can cause failures that end in an accident.

- Failure of foresight or lack of attention: when exiting a stop sign or merging into a lane, the speed of another vehicle may be misjudged and a collision may occur. On the other hand, distractions while driving, such as the use of electronic devices, is also a common cause of accidents.

- Lack of maintenance of the vehicle: this is one of the most avoidable causes, the negligence of the owner of the motorcycle for not maintaining the vehicle in optimal conditions can have fatal consequences.

- Alcohol consumption or careless driving: alcohol contributes to almost half of all accidents involving a single motorcycle. At the same time, the recklessness of motorcyclists driving in the middle of two lanes, attempting to pass, running a traffic light, or making reckless maneuvers causes preventable accidents.
