Driving Tips > The 60-Second Driver
Motorcycle Awareness
We all know there are challenges to winter driving. But summer brings a whole new set of challenges.
Motorcycles accelerate and stop much faster than cars and trucks, and they're harder to see. There are steps drivers of both types of vehicles can take to avoid collisions.
Give yourself more stopping distance when following a motorcycle and look twice when making left-hand turns across traffic--there might be a motorcycle hidden behind the on-coming cars.
At some intersections, it may be hard to see a motorcyclist immediately. A second look can make all the difference.
For a motorcyclist, when you're riding, particularly in the city in heavy traffic situations, don't take anything for granted.
When you're riding a motorcycle, make sure you're visible and position yourself to be visible.
Most car/motorcycle collisions happen because a motorcycle wasn't seen. So be visible, and behind the wheel, take a second look.
