May is recognized as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, a period dedicated to promoting road safety for all. It serves as a crucial reminder for four-wheeled vehicle drivers to share the road responsibly and stay alert. Motorcycles, like any other motor vehicles, have equal rights and privileges on the road.
In 2022, traffic accidents claimed the lives of 6,218 motorcyclists. In light of this alarming statistic, it is imperative to follow certain safety tips to ensure everyone's safety on the roads:
- Be cognizant of your vehicle's blind spots. Motorcycles are smaller than most vehicles and can be less visible.
- Avoid sharing a lane side by side with a motorcycle.
- Maintain extra distance when following a motorcycle to provide the rider with more time to maneuver or stop.
- Most importantly, never drive while distracted.
