Top 10 best cars for safety features<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nMotorcycle riders face a different set of dangers. The statistics highlight that overtaking another moving vehicle on its offside is the manoeuvre implicated in the most accidents, with 14,324 such incidents recorded between 2012 and 2021. Motorbikes were involved in 10,003 collisions while slowing or stopping, but the next most dangerous manoeuvre for bikers is when riding around a left-hand bend, where 8,992 collisions took place.<\/p>\n
For pedal cyclists, turning right once again tops the accident charts with 10,070 collisions recorded, while 4,911 collisions were recorded while moving off, and 4,643 while cycling around a right-hand bend.<\/p>\n
Forbes Advisor, which has been crunching the DfT numbers, has also looked at the types of vehicles involved in various types of collisions. It says the numbers show HGVs are five or six times more likely than average to have accidents while changing lanes to the left or right, while motorcycles have between three and four times the average number of accidents while overtaking.<\/p>\n
