The 5-Mile Trap: Why Riders Crash Where & When They Do

Most riders think the highway is the most dangerous place to ride — fast traffic, big trucks, and impatient drivers everywhere. But the truth is, most crashes don’t happen out there at 70 miles an hour; they happen close to home. In this episode of MCrider, we break down why the last few miles of your ride are often the riskiest. You’ll learn how complacency, the “arrival problem,” and fatigue create hidden dangers on familiar roads, and what you can do to stay sharp until the key is off. Because motorcycle safety isn’t just about skill — it’s about mindset.
