Motorcycle accidents often end fatally for the rider, whether it is a solo crash or auto-motorcycle collision. Safety tips for motorcyclists include wearing a helmet certified and compliant with the US Department of Transportation requirements, turning on the bike’s headlights, and riding defensively.

Avoid the center of the lane where debris and oil build-up, ride at a safe speed, avoid riding when intoxicated, and take a course to learn or reinforce riding techniques. Additionally, motor vehicle drivers should look twice for motorcycles at intersections, maintain a safe following distance, and move to a side of the lane when passing a bike.
