Impact of rain on accident rates

When the sky darkens and the first drops begin to fall, the experience of riding a motorcycle changes completely.
The asphalt no longer behaves the same, the cars around seem to move differently, and every gesture requires more attention.
For many motorcyclists, rain is a stressful time… but it can also be a challenge that can be faced with confidence if you have the right tools.

Rain, a demanding scenario

It doesn't take a storm to complicate things: a light shower is enough to make the asphalt slippery and increase braking distances.
Visibility is also transformed: the visor accumulates droplets, fogs up on the inside, and cars raise a spray that blurs the clarity of the surroundings.
Furthermore, urban traffic responds in its own way: more stops and starts, more unexpected maneuvers, more risk of a vehicle not detecting the motorcycle.
And between puddles, wet crosswalks and metal lids, each journey becomes a small challenge of balance and anticipation.

What the data says

The numbers support this perception. Several international studies confirm that on rainy days, average speed in cities can drop by up to 12% and congestion can increase by more than 10%.
In the U.S., 75% of weather-related accidents happen on wet pavement, with thousands of victims each year.
Even a light drizzle can increase the risk of a fatal accident in any type of vehicle by 27%.

Interestingly, the raw statistics show fewer motorcycle accidents on rainy days. The reason? Many motorcyclists choose not to ride when it's raining.
But if we assume that all the motorcycles that ride on a sunny day also ride in the rain, the data would be very different: accidents could double or even triple.
In other words, those who do go out in the rain face a much higher risk per kilometer traveled.

Turning threat into trust

This is where the key comes in: visibility. Seeing and being seen makes all the difference in safety in the rain.
And that's precisely why SEEWELL was created. This lightweight and compact device, which fits in any pocket, installs in seconds on the underside of the visor and eliminates both water droplets and internal fogging in a single step.
It requires no batteries or maintenance, and is designed to be used only when it rains.

With SEEWELL, the need to turn your head to wring out the visor or to pass your gloved hand over it disappears; these are awkward maneuvers that reduce concentration and do not provide the necessary visibility.
The motorcyclist can keep their gaze fixed ahead. That difference, which may seem small, translates into greater safety and confidence on every journey.

The value for businesses and services

This benefit isn't just individual. For those who manage fleets of motorcyclists—last-mile delivery drivers, regulated parking companies, motorcycle sharing services, or even police and emergency services—rain poses an operational threat: more accidents, more delays, more costs.
Equipping motorcyclists with SEEWELL means reducing those impacts, ensuring continuity even on the most challenging days.
And at a time when the demand for deliveries grows, especially when it rains, protecting the riders is also protecting the quality of the service.

Trust SEEWELL

The rain will continue to fall, but that doesn't have to stop traffic. The challenges are there: reduced grip, worse visibility, and heavier traffic.
However, solutions do exist. SEEWELL transforms the rainy environment into a safer and more reliable experience, both for individual motorcyclists and for businesses that rely on motorcycles for transportation.

Because in the end, it's not about fearing the rain, but about being prepared to face it.
And with SEEWELL, every drop ceases to be an obstacle and becomes one more reason to keep going.
