Some of the worst casualties involve motorcycles. Statistics show that motorcycle accidents are increasing based on the novelty that comes with owning and riding a motorcycle. Most motorcycle riders are at greater risk for injuries from accidents involving a motorcycle because the need for balance is greater than with most other moving vehicles. Unlike a car which is stable on four wheels, the physics involved makes motorcycles more prone to falling over on it side. Someone riding on a motorcycle has to deliberately maintain balance. Rough or bumpy roads, potholes, and obstacles such as fallen objects can easily cause anyone riding as a passenger on the back of a motorcycle or the main operator of the motorcycle to lose balance leading to a motorcycle accident. Icy, slippery or even wet roads-either due to bad weather or an oil spill-can also result in dangerous motorcycle accidents when other vehicles would be unaffected. Motorcycles are much smaller than cars therefore the size enables motorcycles to navigate around bigger vehicles. Many riders take undue advantage of this by indulging in risky driving. Filtering and undertaking are especially responsible for causing motorcycle accidents. Filtering refers to a motorcyclist trying to overtake another vehicle from outside or between traffic lanes. Undertaking refers to a rider overtaking a slower vehicle from the lane on the kerb side of the road. Motorcycle accidents commonly occur in these instances because the other driver fails to see the motorcycle approaching. When motorcycle accidents occur, riders usually sustain serious injuries because they are more exposed. In case of collision, car drivers are usually protected by the body of the car around them, whereas in a motorcycle accident, the rider of the motorcycle takes the full brunt of the impact. The rider is often thrown off the motorcycle and is at risk of being hit by other vehicles on the road.
