Mean Streets: Do you drive a motorbike? If so, you are all too aware of the indifference drivers of passenger cars and trucks show to motorbike riders on the road. Drivers are faced with many distracting devices and behaviors. Drivers can lose track of their surrounding though a number of reasons, including MP3 player distraction, changing the CD player settings, talking on a mobile phone, or driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

During a motorcycle accident, the motorbike operator is at a great disadvantage relative to the car driver. The car operator is protected by a safety enclosure, crumple zones, and air bags. The car driver rides in a much larger and more massive vehicle. When the motorbike and car collide, the motorbike operator loses. Because of the relative safety disadvantage, and because the motorbike operator often contacts the car and road and a high speed, serious injuries often result, including brain injury or even death.
