During annual motorcycle event weeks, Volusia County welcomes a tremendous number of motorcycle riders. Due to the high influx of visitors and crowded streets, many motorcycle accidents can occur during this event. As a result, it is important to take precautions when riding a motorcycle in every situation! Below are a few tips anyone can take to help the prevention of motorcycle accidents:
Seek proper training. Learning to drive a motorcycle is different than that of automobiles, and drivers can take special training classes in order to learn proper ways of handling the machine. For class information, please visit http://www.floridasafety.org/ and follow the "course list" link.
Abide by normal road regulations. Laws related to speed, passing and stopping (to name a few) apply to all drivers, including motorcyclists.
Use safety gear. If a motorcyclist is involved in an accident, wearing safety gear may help to prevent or reduce the amount of injury they may sustain. Such gear can include helments, heavy jackets, boots and gloves.
