Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Owners Manual: Most accidents can be avoided
The most common type of motorcycle accident in the u.S. Occurs when a car traveling towards a motorcycle turns left in front of the motorcycle. Is that because other drivers are out to get motorcyclists? No. Other drivers simply don't always notice motorcyclists.
Ride defensively. Wise motorcyclists use a strategy of assuming they are invisible to other drivers, even in broad daylight. Pay careful attention to other motorists, especially at intersections, because they may not be paying attention to you.
