Motorcyclists face a higher risk of injury in traffic accidents due to their lack of protective barriers. Intersections like Torrance Blvd and S Normandie Ave are particularly dangerous for motorcyclists, as drivers may fail to yield or misjudge a motorcycle’s speed and distance.
Common causes of motorcycle accidents include distracted driving, lane-changing without checking blind spots, and failure to yield the right of way. Even at lower speeds, a motorcycle crash can result in serious injuries such as fractures, head trauma, and road rash.
To improve road safety, drivers must remain vigilant, check for motorcycles before merging or turning, and maintain a safe distance. Motorcyclists can also reduce risks by wearing protective gear, staying visible, and practicing defensive riding techniques.
