Motorcyclists face significant risks on the road. In 2022, there were 6,218 motorcyclist deaths in the U.S., which accounted for about 15% of all motor vehicle crash deaths.
Motorcyclists are 28 times more likely to die in a crash compared to occupants of passenger cars.
Unsafe driving practices, such as speeding, not wearing helmets, and unlicensed riding, contribute to these high fatality rates.
It’s crucial for motorcyclists to follow safety guidelines to reduce these risks.
