Impaired drivers’ crashes present a significant danger to motorcyclists. Motorcycles are smaller and less noticeable than most passenger cars, making them harder for other drivers to spot at intersections. Impairment from alcohol or drugs can slow reaction times and impair judgment. This can heighten the risk of turning in front of an oncoming motorcycle or misjudging its distance and speed. Motorcyclists also have far less physical protection than occupants of enclosed vehicles. Consequently, even one crash at an intersection may cause serious or deadly injuries.
