Law enforcement officers give motorcycle safety tips ahead spring riding
SUMMARY: As spring begins, motorcyclists are more likely to be on the road, increasing the risk of accidents. Studies show that motorcyclists are 28 times more likely to die in a crash compared to car drivers. Therefore, it is crucial for all motorists to be aware of bikers while sharing the road. Road conditions, such as dampness and debris, can also impact safety. It is important to remain cautious and avoid drinking and driving. Law enforcement urges everyone to follow traffic rules and be mindful of other road users to ensure everyone's safety, whether on a motorcycle or in a vehicle.
We're a day away from the start of spring, which means you'll probably see more motorcyclists going for rides all over the Coast.
