Lewis & Clark Abate Safety Links

Research shows that 3/4 of crashes involving a
motorcycle also involves another motor vehicle, which is usually at fault.  Considering crash statistics and the increasing number of motorcyclists, the key to a safer ride is defensive driving and learning to SHARE THE ROAD.

Motorcycles are very different from automobiles - they are much smaller in size and harder to see. Car drivers who are involved in an crash with a motorcycle often don't see the motorcycle prior to the crash, or until it is too late to avoid having the crash. 

The greatest danger area for a crash is at an intersection...whether it is in the middle of an urban area, a driveway on a residential street or anywhere traffic may cross your path. Over 1/2 of motorcycle/car crashes are caused by drivers entering a rider's right-of-way. 

The fact remains...the best way to prevent any crash is through Defensive Driving, Education, Safety, and Motorcycle Awareness Programs.
