What is the most dangerous season for bikers in Virginia?
Posted on May 16, 2011
Spring. Why? During the winter most bikers put away their motorcycles, dreaming of spring and their chance to get out and ride. With spring upon us in Virginia, many motorcyclists are doing just that- Taking their first ride of the season. The danger of the sudden influx of bikers on our highways and byways is that drivers are not used to looking for bikers as they drive.
Drivers are always encouraged to look twice before making a move in traffic. This is especially important when sharing the road with motorcycles. Because of the increase in motorcycle accidents in the spring, the American Motorcyclist Association has declared May Motorcycle Awareness Month.
This and every May, AMA President and CEO, Rob Dingman, is spearheading the effort to keep bikers safe.
"Motorcyclists take to the highway in large numbers every spring, and it's the responsibility of all road users to welcome us safely and attentively. This is why many states and local government s officially promote motorcycle awareness during May," says Dingman.
As motorcycle accident attorneys we know that left hand turns at intersections are among the most dangerous. Too often drivers look once, quickly, and don't scan for smaller vehicles such as motorcycles. Dingman agrees.
"If all drivers would make a conscious effort to look twice before turning left across the oncoming lane of traffic at an intersection, lives would be saved," he states.
If, despite the month of safety events, you are injured in a motorcycle accident, please do not hesitate to contact your experienced, aggressive personal injury lawyer at Tavss Fletcher for your free consultation.
