Motorist Awareness
Safe riding practices and cooperation from all road users will help reduce the number of fatalities and injuries on our nation’s highways. But it’s especially important for motorists to understand the safety challenges faced by motorcyclists such as size and visibility, and motorcycle riding practices like downshifting and weaving to know how to anticipate and respond to them. By raising motorists’ awareness, both drivers and riders will be safer sharing the road.
In this section, you’ll find educational material for motorists and motorcyclists—guidance on how to safely interact with motorcyclists and information on getting a motorcycle license, operating your motorcycle, making sure it’s safe, wearing the right protective gear, and riding your motorcycle responsibly.
