Motorcyclists are perhaps the most vulnerable operators on the Pennsylvania roads. With only inches between them and the pavement, motorcyclists need to take the appropriate safety precautions. It could save a life. Here are some tips to reduce your risk of accidents and injuries:
According to studies, motorcyclists are 27 times more likely to die in a collision than are the occupants of the other vehicle. Motorcycle riders are five times more likely to sustain some injury than are the passengers in the other vehicle. Taking proper safety precautions may reduce your risk of injury or death.
Pennsylvania law requires that any person who operates or rides a motorcycle must wear a helmet unless he or she is 21 years of age or older and has been licensed to operate a motorcycle for at least two years or has completed a motorcycle safety course approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation or the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. Anyone operating a motorcycle on a learner's permit must wear a helmet regardless of age.
