Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month
May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month and the California Highway Patrol emphasizes the importance of this month in promoting safe riding practices and encouraging all road users to share the road responsibly.
Safety Tips for Motorcyclists:
✅ Wear Proper Gear: Always wear a U.S. DOT-compliant helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing.
✅ Stay Visible: Use reflective materials and keep your headlights on, even during the day.
✅ Ride Defensively: Be aware of your surroundings and anticipate the actions of other drivers.
Safety Tips for Drivers:
✅ Check Blind Spots: Always look twice before changing lanes or making turns.
✅ Maintain Safe Distances: Do not follow motorcycles too closely.
✅ Be Cautious at Intersections: Many motorcycle accidents occur at intersections; always be vigilant.
