The majority of passenger vehicle\/motorcycle accidents occur because the driver of the passenger vehicle did not see the motorcycle. Due to their smaller stature (even big Harley models are smaller than compact cars), motorcycles can be hard to see. Be aware of your surroundings by keeping a sharp eye\u2014and ear!\u2014out for motorcycles in front of you, behind you, and in other lanes. If you are planning to switch lanes, make sure to double check all your blind spots and proceed with caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #2: Give Motorcyclists Extra Room<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You always hate it and get a little paranoid whenever another vehicle tailgates you, so don\u2019t do it to a motorcyclist. Due to different machine operations, it usually takes a motorcyclist a little longer to stop at a set of lights, so give them plenty of room and take things nice and slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #3: Think of Motorcyclists as Someone You Know<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Motorcyclists are often stereotyped as wild Johnny Strabler (played by Marlon Brando in The Wild One<\/em>) wanna-bes, but they truly are just regular people who like to enjoy an efficient and fun ride. Some of your favorite people may have a motorcycle, so every time you see a motorcyclist on the road, it might be one of your friends or family members, so try to help keep them safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
