HAVE A LAUGH!
Motorcycles, born on the open road, symbolize freedom. With their sleek designs and robust engines, motorcycles captivate many individuals worldwide. Whether it's cruising down open highways or navigating through city streets, it is always crucial to prioritize safety when riding. As May unfolds, so does Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, a fantastic opportunity to review best practices to keep all road users safe, whether behind the wheel or handlebars. Here are some essential reminders for drivers and motorcyclists to uphold safety for all on the roads. One of the most important reminders is for drivers to stay aware of their surroundings. This means constantly checking their blind spots and mirrors for motorcycles, which larger vehicles can easily obscure. Motorcyclists, for their part, must remain vigilant and anticipate the actions of nearby cars and trucks to avoid potential accidents. Looking out for other people on the road is one of the most significant factors that make someone a good driver. MOTORCYCLE MADNESS Stay Ready on the Road

My husband, Dave, demonstrates how to stay visible on the road. Despite my apprehensions about his motorcycle, he takes proactive measures, such as wearing a brightly colored helmet to help him stand out in traffic. This reduces the chances of accidents because other drivers can easily see him. He never wears dark clothes and has his lights on at all times. Motorcyclists must keep their bikes in good condition , including regular tire checks, pressure and oil level checks, and light checks. Bikers are more susceptible to accidents and severe injuries than cars, so a well-functioning bike can help avert an accident due to a tire or engine failure. By fostering awareness, enhancing visibility, and maintaining meticulous maintenance, drivers and motorcyclists can work together to share the road, making it a safer environment for all. This month, all road riders should prioritize safety and vigilance wherever they go. In the unfortunate event of an accident, seek appropriate legal assistance.
