Motorcycle Safety Month

With spring already in full-swing and summer approaching, more motorcyclists are taking to the highways; with that in mind, pedestrians, bicyclists and other motorists should be extra attentive and ‘share the road.’ Motorcycles are one of the smallest vehicles on the road, often hidden in a vehicle’s blind spot. Motorists and bicyclists should always make visual checks for motorcycles by checking mirrors and blind spots before entering or leaving a lane of traffic and at intersections. Pedestrians should also scan for motorcyclists who might be hidden by other traffic.

In an effort to aid in raising awareness of Motorcycle Safety Month, Kentucky Emergency Management and the Cynthiana/ Harrison County Emergency Management Agency would like to offer the following tips and information:

Raising Awareness of Motorcyclists for other Motorists.

Allow motorcycles a full lane. Motorcycles have all of the rights and privileges of any motor vehicle on the road.

General Guidelines for Riding a Motorcycle Safely.

Be Visible

Dress Safely

Apply Effective Mental Strategies

Know Your Bike and How to Use It

Remember: Give yourself space. People driving cars often just don’t see motorcycles. Even when drivers do see you, chances are they’ve never been on a motorcycle and can’t properly judge your speed.
