With so many scenic roadways available for traveling in Massachusetts, some residents may prefer to ride motorcycles. However, motorcyclists face a large number of risks as they are exposed to dangers that are very different than those faced by motorists in other vehicles.
Eighteen people, including a bus driver, suffered injuries in an Aug. 12 accident involving an MBTA bus and a car.

In fact, one rental company alerted GM to concerns at least seven years earlier.
