What Should Motorcyclists Know About Riding Near Other Vehicles?
Motorcycles are smaller than passenger vehicles and can be harder to see, particularly when traffic is heavy. Drivers should check carefully for motorcycles before changing lanes, turning, or entering a roadway.
Motorcyclists can improve their visibility by using headlights and wearing reflective or brightly visible gear. Maintaining a safe following distance also gives riders more time to respond to sudden changes in traffic.
Intersections and driveways can create additional risks because vehicles may enter a rider’s path with little warning. Both motorists and motorcyclists should remain attentive and allow enough space to react safely.
