Many motorcycle accidents happen when other motorists fail to follow Florida’s right-of-way laws. When drivers are turning left, they have the duty of yielding to oncoming motorcyclists who have the right-of-way.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA), left-turn accidents account for 36 percent of fatal motorcycle accidents. More than one-half of crossing-path crashes involve left turns.

Understanding Florida’s right-of-way laws can help dispel confusion and keep drivers safer while on the road.

Florida Statute 316.123 applies to everyone on the road. This law does not say who has the right-of-way but rather who must yield, or give up, the right-of-way. This applies to every driver, motorcyclist, bicyclist, pedestrian, and moped rider; each must do everything possible to avoid a crash.

Motorcyclists who are involved in right-of-way accidents commonly suffer injuries which may include herniated disc and neck injuries, broken bones, lacerations, and in some cases even death.
