Please take time to look and listen for us, as we are your brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, aunts and uncles. Take time to look left, right, left and again right before pulling out. Be aware that many motorcycle accidents occur when a vehicle makes a left hand turn in front of a motorcyclist. Look for those single headlights before turning or pulling out, remembering we cannot stop on a dime.
Please don't pull right up on our fender when stopping behind us. We have no protection from even a slight bump from your vehicle.
Help us to ride safely by remembering to be visually and audibly aware that MOTORCYCLES ARE EVERYWHERE!

If everyone would drive properly, including motorcycle riders, there wouldn't be a problem. It seems that certain people think that the rules of the road don't apply to them.
People who ride motorcycles are worse drivers then us who drive cars or trucks! I have seen so many motorcyclists who drive too fast and weave in and out of traffic. They need to look out for us, especially the ones who refuse to wear helmets!
