Though for many it is an enjoyable way to spend the season\u2019s long days, it can also be dangerous. Taking safety measures and the time to focus on the road while driving can help everyone stay safe.<\/p>\n<p><b>Be on the lookout<\/b><\/p>\n<p>For those who ride motorcycles on the roads in the summer months, it\u2019s vital to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zanesvilletimesrecorder.com\/story\/news\/local\/2016\/06\/18\/motorcycle-safety-important-summer-motorists\/85928914\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">remember to look out for people in cars or trucks who may not be looking for you<\/a>. Sometimes people don\u2019t see motorcycles because of their small size, so they may brake suddenly or cross traffic in front of you. They might also pull out of a driveway, side road, or parking lot when you are approaching on your motorcycle. For the best possible outcome in these situations, allow for a safe distance between you and the closest vehicle and be ready to stop quickly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dress appropriately<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wearing the right clothes can limit or prevent injuries completely in a collision. Investing in protective gear designed specifically for motorcyclists and made out of special materials is a good idea. While motorcycle helmets are not required for riders age 18 and older, or those who do not hold a novice license, they often make a difference in the severity of injuries suffered when an accident does occur.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ride sober<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the type of vehicle a driver is operating, doing it sober can go a long way toward preventing a crash. Avoiding not only alcohol but drugs as well before heading out can keep your mind sharp and your body ready to react.<\/p>\n<p>Extra vigilance can help you avoid an accident. If you <em>do<\/em> have an accident, <a href=\"\/practice-areas\/motor-vehicle-accidents\/motorcycle-accidents\/\">an attorney familiar with motorcycle accidents<\/a> can help you determine whether it makes sense to pursue legal action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the warm summer months, riding your motorcycle can be a fun activity to engage in.
