What Should Motorists Know About Motorcycle Safety?
Motorcycles are smaller than passenger vehicles and can be harder to see, especially in heavy traffic or at intersections. Drivers should check carefully for motorcycles before turning, changing lanes, or entering a roadway.
Motorcyclists can reduce injury risks by wearing properly fitted helmets and protective gear. Maintaining a safe speed and leaving enough space from other vehicles also gives you more time to react.
Drivers should avoid distractions and check blind spots before moving across lanes. Extra caution near intersections can help prevent motorcycle crashes.
