Safety Tips for Motorcyclists on Freeways
Motorcycles can be harder for drivers to see because of their smaller size. Riders should maintain a safe following distance and stay alert for sudden changes in traffic.
Drivers sharing the road with motorcycles should check mirrors and blind spots before changing lanes. Leaving adequate space can give both motorists and riders more time to react to unexpected traffic conditions.
