Driving attitude - the main factor of causing motorcycle accidents

Driving attitude is the most important factor to reduce the risk of motorcycle accidents.

As with all road accidents, the causes and contributory factors of motorcycling accidents are varied and complex.

In Hong Kong, a 29-year-old motorcyclist was killed together with his wife, when his scooter crashed with two trucks in Hong Kong this week. They were found dead on the spot and were considered their dangerous driving attitude was responsible of this tragedy.

As the driver had a provisional license, there is suspicion that his wife was illegally riding pillion on his bike at the time of the accident and had broken other traffic regulations. On the other hand, he was cutting lines in between two med-size transportation trucks in a high speed of over 70 mph with carrying a passenger. He was riding a scooter too in bridge highway. As believed, this motorcycle accident was evitable.

The accident happened around 9:20 am when the two-wheeler was running along a slip road of Ting Kau Bridge towards Kowloon. When approaching Ting Kau Bridge along the slow lane, the motorcycle first risked to cut line into a truck vehicle in the middle lane and then crashed into its back. Then, another coming truck behind rolled over their bodies and head. They were later certified dead on the spot.

According to traffic law, new license holders for motorcycles are given a provisional license for the first year. During that time, they are not allowed to carry a passenger on their motorcycle.
