Todies Wild Ride. Bike Safety

   Watch for meIn memory of Tod Phillips from Team Rod & Tod w/KAboom.

Motorcyclists Are at Risk from Other Drivers

  • With warmer weather here, more motorcycles are back out on the road – and the drivers of passenger vehicles need to be alert.
  • Motorcycles are small and may be difficult for drivers of other vehicles to see.
  • Motorcycles have a much smaller profile than other vehicles. This can make it difficult to judge the speed and distance of an approaching motorcycle.
  • After a crash, the drivers of other vehicles involved often say they never saw the motorcyclist and were unable to respond in time.
  • In the event of a crash, a motorcyclist is much more vulnerable and in much greater danger physically than are other vehicle drivers.
  • In fact, per vehicle mile traveled, NHTSA estimates that in 2006, motorcyclists were about 35 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a traffic crash.

    Here are several important tips for drivers to help keep motorcyclists safe on our roadways

    • Remember: a motorcycle is a vehicle with all of the rights and privileges of any other motor vehicle on the roadway. Always allow a motorcyclist the full lane width—never try to share a lane;
    • Always make a visual check for motorcycles by checking mirrors and blind spots before entering or leaving a lane of traffic and at intersections;
    • Always signal your intentions before changing lanes or merging with traffic;
    • Don't be fooled by a flashing turn signal on a motorcycle – motorcycle signals are often not self-canceling and riders sometimes forget to turn them off. Wait to be sure the motorcycle is going to turn before you proceed;
    • Remember that road conditions that are minor annoyances to other vehicles pose major hazards to motorcyclists;
    • Allow more following distance, three or four seconds, when following a motorcycle, so the motorcyclist has enough time to maneuver or stop in an emergency. And don’t tailgate. In dry conditions, motorcycles can stop more quickly than cars
