What is the biggest cause of motorcycle accidents?

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the biggest cause of motorcycle accidents is other vehicles failing to yield the right-of-way to motorcycles. This can be due to a variety of factors, such as distracted driving, failure to check mirrors and blind spots, and speeding. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to this type of accident because they are often not as visible to other drivers as cars and trucks. In addition, motorcyclists may be more likely to be involved in accidents when other drivers are making left-hand turns.
