The Month of May is Motorcycle Awareness Month

Did you know that May is Motorcycle Awareness Month?  As the warmer weather arrives, the motorcycle riders will be out in great numbers traveling to Biker Events, going for a leisure ride or utilizing their motorcycle as a primary form of transportation.  This month is a good time to share information and remind other motor vehicles to be aware of Motorcycles on the road.  
"Motorcycle fatalities represent approximately 10 percent of all Missouri highway fatalities each year, yet motorcycles represent approximately 2.6 percent of all registered vehicles in Missouri. One of the main reasons motorcyclists are killed in crashes is because the motorcycle itself provides no protection in a crash." **

Please remember that motorcyclists have all the same rights and privileges as any motor vehicle driver on the roadway.  This month drivers of all other vehicles are reminded to use caution, "share the road" with motorcyclists and to be extra alert to help keep motorcyclists safe.
