Motorcyclists can find themselves in unfavorable situations following an accident, even if they are the most experienced or safest of riders on California roads. Motorcycling is one of the most popular hobbies in the state, there are close to one million registered riders, but it doesn’t mean there aren’t dangers lurking at every turn. What makes motorcycling so dangerous? For starters, there are drunk drivers, road hazards, inclement weather, animals, and ignorance.
