abstract="OBJECTIVE: To provide updated statistics on crashes in which another vehicle turns left in front of an oncoming motorcycle and discuss the potential of left turn assist technology. <br><br>METHODS: Motorcycle driver involvements in 2-vehicle fatal and police-reported crashes during 2017-2021 were tabulated by crash type, with a focus on crash types involving vehicles turning. <br><br>RESULTS: Crashes in which another vehicle turned left in front of an oncoming motorcycle were, by far, the most frequent type of fatal 2-vehicle motorcycle crash, at 26%. <br><br>CONCLUSION: There is a large opportunity to reduce harm by specifically addressing crashes in which another vehicle turns left in front of an oncoming motorcycle - ideally using a variety of countermeasures simultaneously.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
