May is Motorcycle Awareness Month



Did You Know?

-Motorcycle helmet use increased from 48% in 2005 to 67% in 2009.
-Motorcycle helmets saved 1,829 motorcyclists’ lives in 2008.
-Motorcycle helmets do not interfere with the rider's vision or hearing.

Share the Road

All motorists are reminded to safely "share the road" with motorcycles and to be extra alert to help keep motorcyclists safe. Motorcyclists are reminded to make themselves visible to other motorists.
 

Ride Sober

Statistics show that the percentage of intoxicated motorcycle riders in fatal crashes is greater than the percentage of intoxicated drivers on our roads. This is why NHTSA urges all motorcycle riders to always ride smart and sober.
