Motorcycles are fun to ride, but there are dangers to riding down the highway at 65 miles per hour. May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, and California Highway Patrol Officer Joan Griffin has some tips on how to ride safely…
Here are some important safety reminders for motorcyclists. Wear a helmet and protective gear. “No skin below the chin.” It can save your life. Watch your speed. Assume people in cars do not see you. Try to stay out of blind spots, especially around large trucks. Lane splitting is not prohibited if done in a safe and prudent manner.
The CHP urges all motorcycle riders to enroll in its California Motorcyclist Safety Program. To find a course near you, go to californiamotorcyclist.com
