When operating a car, truck, motorcycle, or any type of motorized vehicle on the road, drivers have what is called a “duty of care” to those around them. This means they are required to follow the speed limit and exercise additional care when faced with dangerous road conditions, such as winding roads, or bad weather. When a motor vehicle operator breaches their “duty of care” it can result in the injury or death of others on the road.
Due to their considerably smaller size compared to other vehicles, motorcycles are notoriously difficult to spot. As a result, serious injuries and property damage are very likely to occur in the event of an accident.
