Plumas County's rural nature means roads often have unique hazards not found in urban settings:

• Gravel and debris on winding mountain roads
• Wildlife crossings, especially deer
• Seasonal weather challenges including ice, snow, and fog
• Poorly maintained road surfaces with potholes and cracks

Unfortunately, many motorcycle accidents occur because other drivers fail to see motorcyclists or respect their right to share the road:

• Failure to yield right of way
• Unsafe lane changes without checking blind spots
• Distracted driving (texting, phone use)
• Impaired driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs

Several roads in Plumas County have higher-than-average accident rates for motorcyclists:

• Highway 70 through Feather River Canyon
• Highway 89 between Greenville and Quincy
• Highway 36 near Chester
• La Porte Road between Quincy and La Porte
• Bucks Lake Road west of Quincy

Motorcycle accidents often result in more severe injuries than car accidents because riders lack the protective shell of a vehicle. Common injuries include:

Even with a helmet, the force of impact in a motorcycle crash can cause brain injuries ranging from mild concussions to severe trauma resulting in permanent disability.

Impact to the spine can cause partial or complete paralysis, resulting in life-altering consequences and ongoing medical care needs.

When skin makes contact with the road surface at high speeds, severe abrasions called "road rash" can occur, sometimes requiring skin grafts and leaving permanent scarring.

Multiple broken bones are common in motorcycle accidents, particularly in the legs, arms, ribs, and pelvis.

Blunt force trauma can damage internal organs, causing internal bleeding that may not be immediately apparent but can be life-threatening.

Research into motorcycle safety highlights the elevated risks riders face:

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists are about 28 times more likely than passenger vehicle occupants to die in a crash per mile traveled.

The California Office of Traffic Safety reports that rural counties like Plumas often see higher fatality rates in motorcycle accidents due to longer emergency response times and challenging road conditions.

Understanding California's motorcycle laws can help prevent accidents and strengthen your case if you're involved in one:

• All motorcyclists and passengers must wear helmets
• Lane splitting (riding between lanes of traffic) is legal but must be done safely
• Motorcycles must have working turn signals and mirrors
• Motorcyclists must have proper licensing with a motorcycle endorsement
• Eye protection is not legally required but strongly recommended
