Safety Corner-Look Twice, Save a Life

It is that time of year again, as temperatures start to rise, when motorcyclists are heading to the streets.  Please follow these tips to help keep them safe:

• Give motorcycles extra room and time, as it is easy to misjudge their speed and distance.

• Slow down when going through intersections. Failure to notice a motorcycle at an intersection is one of the leading causes of collision with motorcycles and vehicles.

• Talk with young and inexperienced drivers about being aware of the presence of motorcycles and explain that a fender bender for them could be fatal for a motorcyclist.
