(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 10, 2013 ) San Francisco, CA -- Last year, 10 motorcyclists died in July from fatal crashes, but this year, itÂ’s up much more than that. Stephanie Kaufenberg, of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, said she wouldnÂ’t be surprised to see that record broken one the yearÂ’s data is totally analyzed.
So far this year, there have been 40 deaths, quickly approaching last yearÂ’s total of 51 deaths related to motorcycle crashes. This rise in fatal bike crashes come when ridership is at all time record-high levels. In Minnesota, there are 237,000 registered motorcycles and 404,967 licensed operators.
Also, fewer riders are getting trained before hitting the road. So few, in fact, that the DPS had had to cancel some of their motorcycle training courses due to low enrollment for the program.
So far, half of this year's fatal crashes have been single-vehicle accidents, such as those where a driver failed to turn a curve properly. According to Bill Schaffer, director of the stateÂ’s Motorcycle and Roadway Safety Programs, this indicates inexperience and lack of skill.
