Michigan Motorcycle Accidents | Fatal Accidents Increase in 2008
The number of fatal Michigan motorcycle accidents is on the increase compared to 2007. According to numbers released from the Office of Highway Safety Planning, motorcyclists are more likely to be in a fatal motor vehicle accident than almost any other type of driver. Unfortunately, however, these accidents accidents are often caused by drivers of cars, trucks, and SUVs who fail to notice or look out for motorcycles while they are driving.
The increase in fatal motorcycle accidents is even more alarming because it bucks the trend of an overal decrease in the number of fatal traffic accidents. Car accidents were down 10% overall, while the number of accidents involving property damage or personal injury also declined. Because of this, it is important that every motorcyclist be extra cautious when driving in heavy traffic, since it is clear drivers of other vehicles do not pay attention to motorcycles.
