Motorcycle riders face especially difficult challenges in operating -- both on the road and in the legal system. Every year, thousands of motorcycle riders are hit by drivers of cars or trucks who simply do not see the motorcyclist. Once their cases get to court, they must face skeptical juries who often wrongly perceive motorcycle riders as risk-takers and daredevils.
On the road, motorists frequently give riders less respect than they give to other vehicles, even though the great majority of riders go out of their way to exercise safe driving habits. Why do riders often drive as safely, if not more so, than vehicle drivers? Because they're all too aware of the serious consequences to themselves of having an accident with another vehicle.
Because of their strong sense of community with each other, riders often learn when one of their community has been seriously injured in a crash. Head injuries, fractures, serious disfigurement, and death are all too common consequences of motorcycle crashes. The risks of being involved in a crash are serious, and as a consequence, riders are on the whole very careful on the road.
