What Riders Should Know About Motorcycle Safety
Motorcycle riders face unique risks because they have less protection than people traveling in larger vehicles. Wearing a helmet and protective gear can help reduce the severity of injuries during an accident. Riders are also encouraged to follow traffic signals, watch for turning vehicles, and maintain safe speeds.
Drivers of larger vehicles can help improve safety by checking carefully for motorcycles before changing lanes or entering intersections. Awareness between all road users is important because motorcycles are smaller and can be harder to notice. Defensive riding habits and careful driving practices can reduce the chances of serious roadway injuries.
