Arizona Motorcycle Accidents Likely to Occur during Traffic
In Arizona, there may not be as much traffic as other cities, but there is enough traffic that slows down the speed on the roadways and causes serious motorcycle accidents on Arizona roadways. When there is heavy traffic, people tend to be distracted and are less likely to be paying attention to the roadways. For motorcyclists, this can be especially dangerous as when in traffic, if a motorcyclist in rear-ended or side-swiped, there is no protection and the motorcyclist is likely to sustain very serious injuries from the Arizona motorcycle accident.
Arizona Motorcycle Accident Statistics
Based on Arizona Department of Transportation data for 2009, on Arizona roads there was a total of 106,767 crashes that occurred in which 3,029 motorcycles were involved and 2,477 motorcyclists were fatally injured and 122 were killed.
Arizona State Motorcycle Law
All states have laws that will protect their people, just like in Arizona. Arizona Revised Statutes 28-964 require all operators and passengers under the age of 18 to wear a safety helmet. Aside from this law, it is required for the rider to wear eye protection.
