Inattentional blindness may be to blame for motorcycle crashes
One of the biggest dangers that motorcyclists face out on the road is the prospect of being hit by a driver. Police often report to the scene to ask what happened leading up to the crash after incidents like these occur. Drivers often tell law enforcement that they didn't see the motorcyclist coming before they struck them. A study published in the academic journal Human Factors and Ergonomics Society in Jan. 2018 highlights how common it is for drivers to experience inattentional blindness that causes such crashes.

It's a commercial driver's responsibility to be safe
