Cars on the Roads Often Neglect to “Look Both Ways” for a Motorcyclist on the Roadways

When a car is on the roadways, the driver is responsible to look both ways for other cars, pedestrians, hazards on the roads and even for motorcyclists. Many drivers on the roads these days fail to calculate that a motorcyclist can “come up fast” into the driver field of vision or even in the driver blind spots while traveling on the roads. You may have been hit by a negligent driver who came out at you carelessly from:

• Behind another car
• Turning illegally
• Making a U turn in the roadway
• Running a red light or stop sign
• Sideswiping your motorcycle on the roads
• Using a mobile phone in the car
• Over-steering and running you off the roads
• Aggressive driving from the car
• Traveling the wrong way down a one-way street
• Losing control of a car
• Making improper turns
• Failing to keep in the proper lane of traffic

Cars on the roadways have a duty and responsibility to watch out for motorcycles also sharing our nation’s roads.
