WHEN MERGING INTO A LANE WITH A CAR GOES WRONG

Merging accidents occur for a variety of reasons in a variety of circumstances. They often happen near freeway exit or entrance ramps or in places where the lanes become restricted due to an accident or road construction. Because of limited protection and padding, motorcyclists are especially at risk for injury in merging or lane change accidents, so it is important to practice cautious driving habits and be aware of road signs that warn of merging lanes.

What are some common causes for merging accidents?

• Failing to use signals properly
• Failing to check blind spots before changing lanes
• Speeding up to merge with other cars
• Using erratic or unpredictable maneuvers to merge between lanes

Drunk or distracted driving can also play a part in merging and lane change accidents, and broken bones, concussions, and other serious injuries may result from such accidents.
