Constable Herman on Motorcycles, Cars & Trucks Sharing the Road

– Allow motorcycles the full width of a lane at all times.

– Whether in a car or truck, or on a motorcycle — ALWAYS signal when changing lanes or merging with traffic.

– If you see a motorcycle with a signal on, be careful. Motorcycle signals are often non-canceling and could have been forgotten.

– Always ensure that the motorcycle is turning before proceeding.

– Motorcycles can be hard to see. Check all mirrors and blind spots before changing lanes or merging with traffic, especially at intersections.

– Allow more follow distance — three to four seconds — when behind a motorcycle. This gives the rider more time to maneuver or stop in an emergency.

– Never drive distracted or impaired.
