Question 3796
In the event of an accident, which drivers are most likely to die or suffer serious or very serious injuries?
- Drivers of passenger cars.
- Motorcycle and bicycle riders.
- Drivers of heavy vehicles.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Motorcycle and bicycle riders.
On a motorcycle or bicycle, you have very little protection, so in a collision or fall, your body takes the full impact. These vehicles are also less stable and harder to see than a car. Anyone traveling in a passenger car or heavy vehicle is surrounded by a body that absorbs part of the impact.
