Ontario M1 Motorcycle License Practice Test

Motorcycle collisions at intersections are often caused by another vehicle entering the intersection from a side street. This is a critical area of concern for motorcyclists, as vehicles making left turns or pulling out from side streets frequently fail to see oncoming motorcycles. Motorcycles are narrower and can be more difficult to spot compared to larger vehicles, creating a higher risk of collisions. Additionally, the dynamics of how motorcycles approach intersections, often at speed or from a different angle, can enhance this risk. Motorcyclists need to be particularly vigilant when approaching intersections and should always be prepared to react to vehicles that may not yield the right of way. This underlines the importance of defensive riding and staying alert, especially at intersections where visibility and right-of-way issues can lead to serious accidents.
