following safety tips for
motorists, developed by the
Michigan Safety Management
System and the Office of Highway
Safety Planning:
·
Anticipate
problems and predict reactions.
·
Give yourself at
least a 2-second cushion between
yourself and the driver or rider
ahead of you. Use a 5-second
cushion in poor driving
conditions or at higher speeds.
·
Watch left turns.
Most accidents between vehicles
and motorcycles involve left
turns at intersections.
·
Share the road
with motorcyclists and treat
them with the same courtesy as
you would other motorists.
·
Motorcyclists
should always ride staggered and
use their hand signals.
·
All motorists
should always obey traffic laws
and NEVER drink and ride.
ABATE of Michigan promotes
safety, educational and
awareness programs that help all
motorists share the road safely. |
