Many drivers in Georgia have traded driving cars to riding a motorcycle, as motorcycles provide benefits such as: better fuel efficiency, lower maintenance costs, and the satisfaction of driving one.

Unfortunately, driving a motorcycle can be very dangerous, and sometimes results in fatal accidents. According to the National Traffic Safety Administration, motorcyclists are 20 times more likely to die in an automobile collision as occupants of passenger cars. Statistics also show that over 50,000 motorcyclists are injured annually in wrecks, while over 200 suffer injuries resulting in a fatality.

Head trauma is the most common cause of injury and death in motorcycle accidents, as many drivers neglect the fact that wearing a helmet reduces the risk of a fatal injury by more than 30%.
