The Most Misunderstood Risk Factor in Motorcycle Crashes

Motorcycle crashes aren’t just about how fast you’re riding—they’re about speed differential, closing rate, and reaction time. In this video, we break down the most misunderstood risk factor in motorcycle accidents: how quickly you’re closing on other vehicles at intersections, lane changes, and merges. You’ll learn why late braking often fails, how following distance and lane position affect crash probability, and how managing space, timing, and traffic flow keeps problems from developing faster than you can react. If you care about motorcycle safety, road strategy, and riding in control instead of riding scared, this lesson will change how you read traffic and manage risk on every ride.
