What Is an Unsafe Lane Change?
An unsafe lane change happens when a driver switches lanes without properly checking mirrors, signaling, or yielding the right-of-way. These actions frequently cause sideswipe collisions, cut-offs, or force a motorcyclist to swerve and crash.
Common examples include:
- Changing lanes without signaling
- Merging across multiple lanes suddenly
- Failing to check blind spots
- Cutting off a motorcycle while merging onto highways (I-45, I-610, US-59)
- Swerving without regard for lane markings
Why Unsafe Lane Changes Are Especially Dangerous for Motorcyclists ?
Motorcyclists are already less visible to drivers. When someone makes a reckless or rushed lane change, bikers are often sideswiped, knocked into medians, or forced off the road.
Injuries from unsafe lane change crashes include:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Multiple fractures
- Road rash and deep abrasions
- Internal organ damage
- Wrongful death
