Motorcycle Awareness Tips and Statistics

Awareness Tips

  • Drive less distracted
  • Check your mirrors- WATCH YOUR BLINDSPOTS
  • Look twice - Look 3 times, look for single head lights, look for the rider.
  • Drive sober - Alcohol and Drugs increase the risk of an accident. 
  • Don't tailgate - give room to react and slow down.
  • Use turn signals- give motorcycles time to react to your moves
  • Wear proper gear
  • Ride defensively- some of our roads have major blind spots when pulling out, please watch for other drivers and other riders.
  •  When checking traffic to turn at an intersection or into (or out of) a driveway, predict a motorcycle is closer than it looks. 
  •  Motorcyclists often adjust position within a lane to be seen more easily and to minimize the effects of road debris, passing vehicles, and wind. Understand that motorcyclists adjust lane position for a purpose, not to be reckless or show off or to allow you to share the lane with them. 
  •  When a motorcycle is in motion, see more than the motorcycle – see the person under the helmet, who could be your friend, neighbor, or relative.
