motorcycleMotorcycle Safety

More often than not, motorcycle crashes are caused by drivers not the motorcyclist. Situations in which a crash will most likely occur include:

  • Car making a left turn
  • Motorcycle riding in a driver's blind spot
  • Hazardous road conditions
  • Obstructed line of sight

In order to increase driver’s awareness:

  • Make yourself visible (meaning bright, reflective protective gear)
  • Ride where you can be seen
  • Never share a lane with a car
  • Clearly signal a lane change or turn
