There is no shortage of drivers who fit these categories on the road. Motorcycle accidents may involve an additional issue: Driver&#8217;s whose brains trick them into miscalculating the distance and speed of the motorcycle.

The problem is finding a way to combat the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Research conducted at Texas Tech University analyzed the way the human brain perceives motion and direction. The study identified two methods by which we judge this information. The first method is characterized by an optical invariant, meaning a determination made by determining how large the object appears to us over time. The closer the object, the larger it appears as it approaches.
