Motorcyclists can be educated on how to ride their bikes and avoid accidents. Motorcyclists may know what to do when:

• A vehicle makes a left turn in front of them.
• They hit gravel in a blind corner.
• They enter corners.
• A car changes lanes in front of them.
• A car hits them from behind.
• Riding friends are not riding safely.
• The front brake locks.
• A vehicle opens its door on them.
• It’s slippery.

However, motorcyclists are still injured and killed when out on the roads because of other motorists’ failure to “Share the Road.”

A Fort Myers motorcycle accident attorney says Florida law requires motorcycles and moped drivers to have the same rights and duties as drivers of other motor vehicles. They all have a responsibility to travel safely and share the road properly.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says, “For drivers, sharing the road begins with understanding that motorcyclists have the same rights as you. They also face unique safety challenges, such as being smaller and less visible. Look for cyclists where vehicles do not appear, like before making a left-hand turn at an intersection. Also, be aware that motorcyclists may have to downshift and weave to avoid bumps and road hazards. Safe riding practices and cooperation from all road users will help reduce the number of fatalities and injuries on our nation’s highways. …By raising motorists’ awareness, both drivers and riders will be safer sharing the road.”
