Pedestrian v. Motorcycle
In the U.S., almost 7 million people are registered owners of motorcycles. Gas prices and affordability make motorcycles a popular and thrifty choice when Americans want to purchase a vehicle. But despite their many benefits, motorcycles remain more dangerous than cars. In fact, government statistics indicate that the likelihood of cyclists and their passengers losing their lives in crashes are about 37% greater than for car occupants. When it comes to sharing the road, motorists are responsible for more than half of all motorcycle accidents involving other vehicles.
Motorcycles and Pedestrians
- Yearly, motorcycle accidents take the lives of 4,462 people nationwide.
- Some 90,000 Americans are injured each year in motorcycle accidents.
- Alcohol plays a role in about a third of motorcycle accidents.
- In Florida, 523 motorcyclists die each year.
- 466 pedestrians die in Florida yearly.
