Motorcycle Safety. Look Twice for Motorcyclists

With our recent warm spell this weekend, I was quickly reminded of the number of motorcycles that share our North Florida roads. My kids and I actually had a contest to see who could count the most as we drove around town. Now that the weather has turned cold again I am pretty sure that some of the less avid bikers may put the hog back in the garage. The cold won’t last long (or at least I hope not) and they will all be out in full force enjoying our fabulous spring time weather.

Just as motorists look out for other motorists, we should always look out for others sharing the roadways – motorcyclists and cyclists alike. Check that blind-spot carefully and maintain traffic awareness at all times. The roads aren’t getting any less crowded but we can keep them safe by practicing safe driving. Be patient – I’d rather be 2 minutes late for something than be involved in a traffic accident and potentially injure someone or be injured myself.

LOOK TWICE – SAVE A LIFE
