Oklahoma Motorcycle safety should be high on the list of our traffic concerns as gasoline prices continue to go up. Driving to Tulsa from Omaha last week, I noticed a traffic sign encouraging drivers to watch out for motorcycles. This is really good advice since a lot of new motorcycle drivers, who are trying to save gas money, will be exposed to injuries.
My experience tells me that motorcycle drivers are generally very good and safe drivers. The problems more often lies with automobile drivers who don’t see the motorcycle or make a mistake which would only be a fender bender with another car, but could be fatal with a motorcycle. What is really concerning to me is seeing motorcyclists and passengers not wearing the basic safety equipment, like helmets and protective clothing. I hope they come to understand the risks and take precautions, because it is inevitable that some of them are going to be in an Oklahoma motorcycle accident not of their own making. They shouldn’t have to pay for it with their lives or serious injuries.
