According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, there were a total of 3,058 motorcycle accidents throughout 2011, which resulted in 2,442 injuries and 140 fatalities.
With over two-thirds of motorcycle vs. passenger vehicle accidents caused by the passenger vehicles, our Phoenix motorcycle accident attorneys have gathered some helpful information to assist these drivers in becoming aware of motorcycles.

2.Look for motorcycles while making left turns
3.Predict motorcyclist reactions to certain hazards
4.Do not follow a motorcycle too closely
5.Check your blind spots
6.Allow space to travel
