In accidents where motorcyclists and vehicles crash, motorcycle fatalities have increased because of SUV's. In Colorado, SUV's are very common, are as large or larger than trucks, and can weigh over three tons.
When a car turns in front of a motorcycle, the motorcyclist has a good chance of going over the car. But in crashes with SUV's, the motorcyclist is going into the SUV.
Don't even get me started with the inattentiveness of drivers.
