MAY IS MOTORCYCLE SAFETY MONTH
As the weather gets warmer, you've probably already seen an increase in motorcyclists on the roads.
May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. Keep in mind that mutual respect and consideration from all road users will help reduce crashes, deaths, and injuries on Kansas roads.
Preliminary 2023 Kansas crash data show there were 41 fatalities in 40 fatal crashes involving motorcycles.
This represents a downward trend in motorcycle deaths in the state since 2020 when 65 people died in 62 fatal crashes.
Tips for drivers:
• Yield to motorcyclists especially while turning at intersections.
• Check all mirrors and blind spots for motorcycles before changing lanes or merging with traffic.
• Allow more follow distance when behind a motorcycle.
• Allow motorcycles the full width of a lane at all times.
Tips for motorcyclists:
• Wear personal protective gear and a DOT-compliant helmet. High visibility gear will help you be seen.
• Take a motorcycle safety course and keep your bike well maintained.
• Don’t ride in the blind spots of motor vehicles.
• Drive and ride defensively.
