Motorcycle deaths hit 364 in 2024, highest for any vehicle, prompting warnings to slow down and adapt to winter hazards.
A paramedic and motorbike commuter in Berkshire, Matt Stanley, is urging winter riders to slow down and adapt to hazardous conditions as motorcycle fatalities rose to 364 in 2024—the highest number for any vehicle type.
He warns that wet, icy roads, reduced visibility, and black ice increase crash risks, with motorcyclists about 45 times more likely than car occupants to suffer serious or fatal injuries per mile.
Stanley, who has treated crash victims, stresses that even small speed reductions provide crucial reaction time and recommends wearing high-visibility gear, increasing following distances, braking earlier, and staying alert for hidden hazards like wet leaves and standing water.
