Look twice and share the road.
May is Motorcycle Safety Month. Motorists should be aware more than half of fatal motorcycle crashes result from collisions with other vehicles. Drivers simply don’t see the motorcycle or misjudge its distance and speed. Their smaller profile can make them appear farther away then they actually are. This combined with congested roadways and distracted driving leads to many preventable fatalities and injuries each year.
When getting ready to ride, always wear a quality, DOT- or Snell-Approved helmet along with other appropriate safety clothing. Remember to inspect your bike and gear before climbing on, and once you’re rolling – ride defensively!
Be aware of the blind spots of nearby drivers, give yourself extra space when you can, and always obey traffic laws and regulations.
