The month of May is officially Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month! At Liberty Sport, we are not only committed to providing impact resistant motorcycle sunglasses to motorcycling enthusiasts everywhere, we are also committed to spreading awareness of overall motorcycle safety.
Start Seeing Motorcycles
Most recent published stats show that in 2014 over 4,000 motorcyclists died on American roadways. Many of these deaths could have been prevented if drivers knew safety tips to help be aware of close or passing motorcyclists, or if motorcyclists followed tips to safely share roadways with passenger vehicles and trucks.
There are many resources for drivers and cyclists to help promote awareness and safe driving tactics. The following pages provide excellent articles, tips and guides on motorcycle safety:
- National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- Motorcycle Safety Foundation
- Governors Highway Safety Association
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Motorcycle Injury Prevention
- American Motorcyclist Association
Don't Become a Statistic - Educate Yourself!
During this motorcycle season, don't become a statistic, help prevent motorcycle accidents and deaths by educating yourself on the best safety practices--whether you are a motorcyclist or simply sharing the road with them.
