the danger hours: be on
the lookout from 11:00 to 1:00
Not the time of day,
exactly. When you're riding, imagine the area around
your motorcycle divided into slices like the hours
of a clock. 12:00 is directly in front of you, 6:00
is behind you, 3:00 is to your right and 9:00 is
to your left.
According
to the Hurt Study, motorcycle crashes are most
likely to occur in the following areas:
5.1% occur in the 5:00-7:00
range (rear-end accidents)
7.2%
occur in the 2:00
to 4:00 range (from the right)
10.4%
occur in the 8:00
to 10:00 range (from the left)
77.1% occur in the 11:00
to 1:00 range (in front of
you)
