4 Drivers

How to protect the riders around you

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

LOOK TWICE

Before changing lanes or making a turn, take a second look specifically 4 motorcycles and scooters. They're smaller and can be hidden in traffic.

โ†”๏ธ

CHECK BLIND SPOTS

Motorcycles can appear and disappear in your blind spots quickly. Always physically turn your head โ€” don't rely on mirrors alone.

๐Ÿšฆ

SIGNAL EARLY

Give riders time to react. Signal well before turns and lane changes so riders can adjust their position and speed safely.

๐Ÿ“

MAINTAIN DISTANCE

Follow at least 4 seconds behind motorcycles. They can stop faster than cars, and tailgating leaves no reaction time.

๐ŸŒง๏ธ

WEATHER AWARENESS

Wet roads, debris, and wind affect riders far more than car drivers. Give extra space in poor weather.

๐ŸŒ™

NIGHT AWARENESS

Riders are much harder to see at night. Watch 4 single headlights and be extra cautious at intersections.

๐Ÿ“ฑ

NO DISTRACTIONS

Put the phone down. A single second of distraction at 40 mph is 59 feet of no visibility. Riders pay with their lives.

๐Ÿ”„

NEVER SQUEEZE BY

Motorcycles are entitled to a full lane. Never try to share a lane with a rider โ€” they need the full width to maneuver safely.

4 Riders

Ride smarter. Ride safer.

๐Ÿช–

GEAR UP EVERY RIDE

Full-face helmet, jacket, gloves, boots, and pants โ€” every ride, every time. ATGATT: All The Gear, All The Time.

๐Ÿ’ก

RIDE VISIBLE

Wear high-visibility gear. Keep your headlight on. Position yourself in the lane where drivers can see you in their mirrors.

๐Ÿง 

RIDE YOUR OWN RIDE

Don't let peer pressure or impatience push you past your skill level. Aggressive riding is a leading cause of single-vehicle crashes.

๐Ÿ“

LANE POSITIONING

Ride in the part of the lane where you're most visible โ€” usually the left third. Avoid riding in other vehicles' blind spots.

๐ŸŽ“

TAKE A COURSE

Complete an MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) course. Even experienced riders benefit from refresher training.

๐Ÿ”ง

PRE-RIDE CHECK

T-CLOCS before every ride: Tires, Controls, Lights, Oil, Chassis, Stands. A mechanical failure at speed can be fatal.

Safety Is Everyone's Responsibility

Take 3 seconds before every turn and lane change. That's all it takes.
