As the weather warms up, more motorcycles hit the road—and that means it’s the perfect time to talk about safety. At The Copeland Group Insurance Solutions, we’re committed to protecting what matters most to you, and that includes raising awareness about motorcycle safety for riders and drivers alike.
Why Motorcycle Awareness Matters
Motorcyclists are more vulnerable than drivers in cars. Without the protection of a vehicle frame, even a minor accident can result in serious injury. In fact, according to the NHTSA, motorcyclists are about 28 times more likely than passenger vehicle occupants to die in a crash per mile traveled.
Safety Tips for Drivers:
- Look twice at intersections and when changing lanes—motorcycles can be easy to miss.
- Keep a safe distance behind motorcycles—tailgating is especially dangerous.
- Use your mirrors and blind spot checks religiously.
- Give motorcycles a full lane—they need space to maneuver safely.
Tips for Riders:
- Wear proper gear—a DOT-approved helmet, gloves, and protective clothing can save your life.
- Stay visible—bright clothing and reflective gear go a long way.
- Ride defensively—assume other drivers may not see you.
- Get proper training—a motorcycle safety course can make all the difference.
