Be Proactive to Avoid Motorcycle Accidents

To avoid motorcycle accidents, motorists and motorcyclists should share the road, each being aware of the other and by respecting all traffic laws. In addition to sharing the road respectfully and safely, motorcyclists should always ride sober, wear DOT-compliant helmets and make themselves visible. By being proactive, some motorcycle accidents and their resulting injuries can be avoided.
