Motorcycle Safety Stats
The Feller Wendt web page
I got an email the other day from a law firm that does advocacy for motorcyclists involved in crashes. Feller & Wendt, LLC™ appears to operate only in Utah, Idaho, and Arizona but maybe they’re interested in my blog because they’re considering expanding to Colorado. Just speculation.
Nevertheless, they were offering for my use here a link to an article they have put out that looked kind of interesting. “Motorcycle Safety:Understanding the Risk Through Statistics” can be summed up by this introductory line: “This guide brings together the latest statistics and expert insights to help riders make informed choices. Whether you are a seasoned biker or just starting out, understanding the data can make a life-saving difference.”
It is broken down into these sections:
- Motorcycle Accidents: By the Numbers
- How Weather Conditions Impact Motorcycle Safety
- The Importance of Wearing Protective Gear
- Speeding: A Leading Factor in Motorcycle Accidents
- The Risks of Riding a Motorcycle at Night
- Fatigue and Motorcycle Safety: The Dangers of Riding While Tired
- Distracted Driving: A Growing Concern for Motorcyclists
- Age and Its Impact on Motorcycle Safety
- Safety Tips for Beginner Motorcyclists
- Road Safety Tips Every Motorcyclist Should Know
- Practice Driving Safely
I took a look at each topic and while I can’t say I encountered anything that was completely new to me, some of it stuff I hadn’t thought about in a long time, so good to refresh. It’s not actually very long, and it does seem better conceived and put together than a lot of what you’ll find out there, so I’d say it is worth taking a look.
