According to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Broward County holds the second largest amount of motorcycle fatalities in Florida after Miami-Dade County. There’s no doubt that motorcycles are popular in Florida, considering that it is a popular tourist destination and the weather permits bike events year round. In fact, the FDOT reports that factors such as population and proximity to motorcycle rallies play a part when it comes to determining the numbers of motorcycle accidents and fatalities.

The popularity of motorcycles in also noted nationwide. The U.S. Department of Transportation found that motorcycle registrations have been steadily increasing, from close to 4 million registrations in 1997 to 6,678,958 in 2006 (the latest report). This is a 75 percent increase of motorcycle registrations in a 10 year span, meaning the number of motorcyclists on the road have almost doubled in the U.S.

As the number of motorcyclists continues to rise, so does the number of distracted motor vehicle drivers, which plays a major role in motorcycle accidents. Distracted vehicle driving is when people are driving while trying to do another task that takes their attention from the road. With the recent awareness campaigns on texting and driving, most people are familiar with distracted driving due to texting, however, this is not the only distraction that is hazardous while driving. In fact, eating, applying makeup, daydreaming, and adjusting the radio are just a few examples of dangerous distractions while driving.

The reason why texting is emphasized the most on distraction awareness campaigns is because it requires your eyes off the road (visual), your hands off the wheel (manual), and your mind off of driving (cognitive), which are the 3 main distractions discussed by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A study conducted by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, found that tasks performed in order to make a phone call such as looking up a contact number and dialing a number increased the crash risk by three times.
