As May brings warmer weather and better riding conditions, more motorcyclists will be heading back out on the road. With motorcycle season picking up, it’s more important than ever to share the message that May is Motorcycle Awareness Month, a time dedicated to reminding all drivers to look out for motorcycles.
After the winter months, many drivers may not be used to seeing motorcycles on the road. Because motorcycles are smaller than passenger vehicles, they can be harder to see and can easily disappear into blind spots. Distractions like texting, eating or adjusting the radio can make it even more difficult for drivers to notice motorcyclists around them.
For decades, Hupy and Abraham, S.C. has helped lead the charge in promoting motorcycle awareness through its “Watch for Motorcycles” campaign. Simply being aware that motorcycles are on the road and getting into the habit of actively watching for them can help prevent crashes and save lives. Everyone can help spread this important message by reminding friends, family and coworkers to check blind spots, look twice before changing lanes, scan the road before turning and use extra caution at intersections. When we all make the effort to “Watch for Motorcycles,” we help create safer roads for riders and drivers alike.
To help keep riders safe, Hupy and Abraham continues to promote the “Watch for Motorcycles” message through public service announcements, bumper stickers and billboards throughout the Midwest. The firm also works closely with organizations like ABATE of Wisconsin and the Motorcycle Riders Foundation to support motorcycle awareness and protect the rights of riders. Hupy and Abraham stays active in the motorcycle community through awareness rallies and sponsorships of events like the Road Runners Bike Blessing, Motovid track days, Harley-Davidson Homecoming and Tomahawk Fall Ride, showing an ongoing commitment to rider safety.
Even when motorcyclists do everything right, crashes can still happen because of another person’s negligence. When they do, Hupy and Abraham is ready to help 24/7/365. With a record of helping more than 80,000 clients recover over $2 billion for their injuries, the firm is committed to helping victims get all the money they deserve. Hupy and Abraham is always available at 800-800-5678 or hupy.com. Stay tuned to Hupy and Abraham’s Rider Resources page for more motorcycle safety tips, videos and upcoming events.
