Motorcycle Collisions Can Be Prevented

Motorcycles provide an open road, but safety is key. Wear a DOT-approved helmet and protective gear every time you ride to prevent injuries from crashes. Keep visible — use headlights, bright-colored clothing and try not to ride in blind spots. Observe all the rules of the road and keep your speed in check, and never ride while impaired. Keep your wits about you and never assume anyone else sees you.

The choices you make can save your life.

Motorcycle crashes often result in severe injuries due to limited protection. Drivers should stay alert, check blind spots, and share the road carefully with motorcyclists.
