COLLISIONS INVOLVING
MOTORCYCLES
Collisions involving motorcycles are very different from those between other types of vehicles, often due to the relative visibility of a motorcycle on the road compared to other road users. Motorcyclist are particularly vulnerable on the roads of Jersey and Guernsey so thoroughly investigating and reconstructing a collision involving a motorcycle will include investigative elements that are specific to them.
Analysis
There are considerable differences between motorcycles and other vehicles during collisions, such as handling dynamics, differences in construction, performance, visibility and how tyre marks are created on the road surface. These are all taken into account when reconstructing collisions involving motorcycles. SGC Collision Solutions are highly experienced in investigating motorcycle collisions.
When a motorcycle has been involved in a collision it is critical to examine the respective lines of site for the parties involved to determine if and when the motorcycle would have become visible to another road user, ascertaining those lines of sight, the speeds or ranges of speeds of all the vehicles involved and the possible outcomes had any of the variables been different is fundamental to thoroughly investigating a motorcycle collision.
Because of the forces at play in keeping a motorcycle upright, the evidence at the scene of a motorcycle collision must be collected by investigators who are experienced in dealing with the unique challenges that this type of case presents. It is vital that the data is interpreted by experts who are able to pinpoint the pertinent details of the case.
By using specialist techniques, it is possible to better understand whether or not a collision was caused by negligence on the part of one or both road users and what other contributory factors existed.
