For example, under Kentucky law, only drivers who have had a motorcycle license for less than one year, and motorcycle riders under age 21, are required to wear helmets. Other reasons why Kentucky motorcycle crashes occur include:

- Car, truck, and SUV drivers failing to yield the right of way to motorcyclists;
