Today marks the start of National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. My brother was hit on his motorcycle today. Thankfully he is ok. Please, please watch out for motorcycles!
Some safety tips for drivers from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation:
1. Focus on Driving--Don't be distracted. Put down the cell phone and pay attention to driving.
2. Look for Motorcyclists--Motorcycles are smaller than cars and harder to see, but they are out there. Keep an eye out and try to be extra aware of motorcycles and where they are in traffic.
3. Give Motorcyclists Enough Room--Keep a safe distance when following a motorcycle. Don't change lanes quickly in front of a rider. Motorcyclists and their machines do not generally just have fender benders in collisions with cars.
4. Use Your Turn Signals--Always signal your intentions. It is for everyone's safety and it is the law!
5. Keep it in the Car--Trash, including cigarette butts, should stay in the car, not be thrown out where it could hit a motorcyclist. Road debris can kill a rider. Heavier items, especially, should be kept inside the car or truck and be very well secured.
