May is here and warmer days are coming. With the weather being more suitable for motorcycle riders, many bikes will be on the road. May is known as Motorcycle Awareness Month, a month dedicated to spreading motorcycle awareness to all drivers on the road.
Many drivers don’t have motorcyclists at the top of their minds, especially after winter when there aren’t many bikes on the road. Since motorcycles are much smaller than a car or truck, they are much harder to see while driving, especially if they are in your mirror’s blind spot. Additionally, many drivers are distracted by things like texting, making phone calls and eating while on the road, which adds to the danger for everybody. Training your mind to Watch for Motorcycles will help make the roads safer and save rider lives.
You can help keep yourself and other riders safe while spreading the message to Watch for Motorcycles to your friends, family and co-workers. Let them know that motorcycles can be much harder to see on the road. Tell them to check their blind spots and all around their car before changing lanes. They need to make sure they look twice before making a turn or pulling out onto a road. If everyone works together, many lives will be saved and the roads will be a much safer place.
