Motorcycles do not have air bags or seatbelts to reduce the risk of injury and provide any type of protection in the unfortunate event of an accident. As a result of these facts about 80 % of motorcycle accidents cause either death or serious injury. Recent studies have shown that about 70% of accidents that involved a motorcycle were the result of the motorcyclist are not being seen by the automobile drivers until it was too late. Other causes of a motorcycle accident:

• Driving at unsafe speeds
• Poor or limited visibility
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
