One thing that motorcycles and other vehicles share in common, of course, is that both require an operator’s license. For one, motorcycles don’t offer the same protection that cars and trucks do, and because they take up less space on the roads, they’re simply harder for us to see. About 30 percent of motorcycle crashes result in death or serious injury, but that’s true for only about 3 percent of car and truck crashes. Motorcycle riders face a far greater risk than other roadway travelers.
