With #Biketoberfest here, we’re reminding all drivers to #LookTwiceSaveALife. Too many accidents happen because drivers don’t see motorcycles until it’s too late. This weekend, be alert, avoid distractions and drive sober.
The sad truth is that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says 27,000 people are injured in motorcycle accidents each year. We often hear the term “distracted driver” being used, but many drivers have difficulty seeing motorcycles at intersections or crossing streets because they don’t expect to see them. Many accidents happen when a driver looks but doesn’t see due to sensory deprivation. Many drivers are not looking for motorcycles because they don’t want to hit them.
Of course, you should always wear a helmet, but make sure you always wear bright, high visibility clothing during the day. It’s up to us to look out for each other. This weekend, be extra careful on the road and avoid distractions while driving. If a motorcyclist is clearly visible to you, then you have a responsibility to drive safely.
For the past decade, the number of people killed in accidents with motorcycles have increased every year. Motorcycles are small, so drivers don’t see them until it’s too late. Too many accidents are caused because drivers are distracted or drunk. This weekend, watch out for motorcycles, be alert, and don’t drink and drive. Thousands of families are mourning over their dead loved ones today because they weren’t seen on time. Protect your life, protect your family’s lives by being safe on the road.
