Dallas Motorcycle Wreck
Sadly, a Dallas motorcycle wreck is becoming more of a common occurrence. This year, there have already been 10 Dallas motorcycle wrecks, and four motorcycle deaths in Richardson, which is north of Dallas. Still, the year isn’t yet over, and police are expecting more fatalities.
Figuring out just why there have been so many Dallas motorcycle wrecks this year wasn’t difficult. Simply stated, there are just more motorcycles on the road. So more motorcycles mean the chances are greater for more motorcycle wrecks and car wrecks.
The increase of motorcycles on Dallas roads, along with roads all over the nation, can be explained by higher gas prices. People are trading in their cars for motorcycles since they get much better gas mileage. The Texas Department of Public Safety’s motorcycle safety unit warns that this surge in motorcycle use means there is an increase in Dallas motorcycle wrecks.
The growing Dallas motorcycle wreck death number is not unique to Texas, though. Across the state, 405 people died in motorcycle wrecks last year. That’s up from 295 motorcycle wreck deaths in 2004. Some suggest that perhaps motorcycle riders aren’t getting enough training, and they are unprepared to be on the roads on a motorcycle. With the surge in popularity of motorcycles because of soaring gas prices, there’s often a wait of several months to get into a motorcycle safety class.
