Motorcycle Safety Awareness

Sharing the Road with a Motorcycle

• When you follow a motorcycle, remember that motorcycles have the ability of stopping much more quickly than other vehicles in emergencies. Following too closely endangers your life and that of the motorcyclist. Do not follow a motorcyclist closely.
• Watch for motorcycles before turning and yield right of way.
• Include motorcycles in your visual search pattern.
• Do not share the lane with a motorcycle. The motorcyclist needs the room to maneuver safely and is entitled to the entire lane.
• When your automobile is being passed by a motorcycle, you should maintain your lane position and speed. Allow the motorcycle to complete the maneuver and assume proper lane position as quickly as possible.
• Do not follow the motorcycle closely. Motorcycles can stop in a shorter distance than a car.
• In traffic, especially in inclement weather or under certain road conditions, motorcycles operate differently than other vehicles:
  • Wind gusts can move a motorcycle across an entire lane.
  • Wet or icy roads impair a motorcyclist's ability to brake and maneuver.
  • Potholes or railroad tracks, often require motorcyclists to change positions within their lane.
  • Gravel roads decrease traction and may cause a rider to slow down or brake where a car would not.
