Question

The following are important rules for safely sharing the roads with motorcyclists?

Answer 1

keep yor eyes open. we are harder to see. you dont know how many times i heard "i didnt see you!" Respect "our" space. just because we dont take up the entire width of a lane does not mean you can have that area. Motorcyclists need escape routes for the people who get stupid around us.

Otherwise just drive safely.

Answer 2

When you change lanes or enter a major thoroughfare, make a visual check for motorcycles. Also use your mirrors.

Motorcycles are small and they can easily disappear into a vehicle’s blind spots.

Allow a four-second following distance. You will need this space to avoid hitting the motorcyclist if he or she falls.

Allow the motorcycle a full lane width. Although it is not illegal to share lanes with motorcycles, it is unsafe.

When you make a turn, check for motorcyclists and know their speed before turning.

Remember that road conditions which are minor annoyances to you pose major hazards to motorcyclists.

Potholes, gravel, wet or slippery surfaces, pavement seams, railroad crossings, and grooved pavement can cause motorcyclists to change speed or direction suddenly.

If you are aware of the effect of these conditions and drive with care and attention, you can help reduce motorcyclist injuries and fatalities.
