This recent viral video serves as a stark reminder of the heightened risks motorcyclists face on the road, where even minor errors can have potentially devastating consequences.
Due to their lack of protective enclosure, motorcyclists are classified as vulnerable road users. This vulnerability translates to significantly higher severity of injuries in crashes compared to occupants of enclosed vehicles. The combination of smaller size, making them more susceptible to being overlooked, inherent instability, and increased manoeuvrability, also contributes to an elevated risk of collisions for motorcyclists.
