Riders on motorcycles face severe injuries in freeway crashes owing to their minimal protection. Even when wearing safety gear, motorcyclists remain far more vulnerable than occupants of passenger cars. Traveling at high speeds on highways such as Interstate 405 heightens the impact force in a crash. Abrupt lane changes, sudden braking, or poor visibility can make it more difficult for drivers to spot motorcycles in traffic. Congested roads and multiple crashes in one area can also increase hazards.
