We use the word \u201ctry\u201d because that is truly all a rider can do in situations where others are involved. We have seen many cases where even the most experienced and knowledgeable rider cannot avoid the mishaps of others.<\/p>\n<p>The most common accident that happens to motorcyclists is when <a href=\"https:\/\/rideapart.com\/articles\/10-common-motorcycle-accidents-and-how-to-avoid-them\" target=\"_blank\">another vehicle turns left in front of them<\/a>. This is often where we hear the \u201cI didn\u2019t see them\u201d excuse. A motorcyclist should always be aware that any intersection where a car is preparing to turn left may be an immediate threat. In these situations, it may benefit a rider to slow down and prepare for evasive measures if needed. Although some might think laying down their bike is the best option if they are about to collide, being in an upright position is a much better option. The best hope of surviving such a crash is to lower your speed as fast as possible before colliding. This could mean the difference between life and death.<\/p>\n<p>What can a motorcyclist do to avoid having a car change lanes into them? Again, awareness is key here as well. Try to stay out of other vehicles\u2019 blind spots and be aware of situations where vehicles are more likely to change lanes (such as when one lane of traffic is moving faster than another).<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defranciscolaw.com\/blog\/steps-to-take-to-try-to-avoid-a-motorcycle-accident-part-2\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading Steps to take to try to avoid a motorcycle accident (PART 2)\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today\u2019s post we continue our discussion on things motorcycle riders can do to try to avoid an accident.
