Keeping in mind that motorcyclists can also drive carelessly at times, both cyclists and drivers of passenger vehicles need to be sure to drive defensively and responsibly at all times. Motorcyclists have a tendency to slip in between cars without signaling and can easily be lost in a driver’s blind spot, so giving extra distance between the vehicle and the motorcycle will help put more reaction time between the two drivers in the event of an impending accident.
Remember these tips when sharing Tulsa roads with motorcycles to help avoid accidents:
• Stay aware of the motorcycle’s position in traffic; watch their movements • Assume the motorcycle is closer than it appears, as it is sometimes hard to judge distance • Give a motorcyclist plenty of room— no crowding or tailgating • Be extra cautious in bad driving conditions, such as poor visibility or wet roads • Signal so the motorcyclist understands you intend to turn • Motorcyclists: wearing brightly colored clothing will help visibility in traffic
When drivers and motorcyclists work together and act responsibly, Tulsa’s roads and highways can be alleviated of many unnecessary motorcycle-versus-car crashes.
If you were injured in a car or motorcycle accident because the other driver was behaving carelessly and without regard for their safety or your own, you may be eligible for compensation that can help cover medical expenses and the pain and suffering you experienced.
