About 500 accidents occur on the country’s roads every day, and 20% of 100% cases involve motorcyclists. Perhaps many will think that the cause of accidents is often the carelessness of car owners, but the statistics say otherwise. Only in 37.5% of the incidents involving two-wheelers is the fault of the driver of the vehicle. In other cases, it is motorcyclists who provoke incidents by cutting off four-wheeled colleagues downstream and overtaking incorrectly.
So, on May 10, a tragedy occurred in Moscow near the Atrium center, the participants of which were a fire truck and a motorcyclist. A video posted to the Baza Telegram channel shows the car crossing the road blocking traffic. And the “crunch” that did not slow down crashed into the side of the car and caught fire. The pilot died in hospital without regaining consciousness.
A story with a similar scenario happened this spring on the Kosmodamianskaya embankment of the capital. Here a taxi driver got confused with a biker brother. The former died on the spot and his 14-year-old passenger was taken to hospital in serious condition. The video of the prosecutor’s office shows how the taxi driver, turning on the indicator, performs a completely normal and legal maneuver and a motorcyclist flies into it at full speed.
Most often, experts note that the causes of such accidents are haste in maneuvers and ignoring basic actions by all participants in the incident. Motorcyclists do not comply with the speed limit and marking requirements, and motorists lose their vigilance at intersections, forgetting to check the traffic situation in the rear-view mirror or turn on the turn signal.
