Current Goal

This coin is sent out to help raise awareness of motorcyles on the roadway, here are some tips for motorcyclists-

Don't assume that you are visible to a driver. As a motorcyclist, it is your responsibility to make your presence known to the driver.

Select and wear an appropriate helmet with retroreflective materials. Wear bright, contrasting protective clothing. If you choose darker clothing, wear a fluorescent vest.

23 states require that the headlight be on while the motorcycle is on the highway. Use high beams rather than low beams and consider using a modulating headlight if your state allows it.

Proper lane position is important to being seen and for protecting your riding space. If you can see the driver in the side-view mirror, the driver can see you. Don't "hide" in the driver's blind spot!

Clearly, communicate your intentions by signaling appropriately. Let the driver know what you intend to do.

About This Item

Over two-thirds of car-motorcycle crashes are caused by drivers, not by motorcyclists. The driver either does not see the oncoming motorcyclist at all or does not see the motorcyclist in time to avoid a crash.

Make sure the other motorists can see YOU!

We can get this message out to more people if YOU help! Release a coin of your own.

    Grabbed on my trip over to finish up the Mackinac Island caches... I agree with the thought of this coin as well because I have many in-laws that are all about motorcycles and it is good to pass along the awareness for their safety!!
