The media often portrays bikers as crazed, leather wearing zealots with a need for speed and the inability to obey traffic laws.

In reality, the very opposite is true.

Responsible cyclists realize that by driving a motorcycle, they are at something of a disadvantage.

They often travel in blind spots, and most car drivers, who should be more careful, are apt to quickly maneuver in and out of traffic. Often times the driver does not seeing a motorcycle until it is too late.

Because of this, bikers tend to be a bit more cautious than the average driver, in fact, in most motorcycle accidents that involve a passenger vehicle, the driver of the car is at fault.

Unfortunately, the driver of the car or SUV is more apt to walk away unscathed than a motorcycle driver.

Statistics indicate that a biker is 32 times more likely to be killed and 6 times more likely to be injured in a motorcycle accident. Motorcyclists are at the mercy of physics and the elements—they don't have a cushion of protection, such as an airbag, around them. This is why it is a shared responsibility for motorists to look out for bikes on the road.

Bikers can also be proactive by taking rider safety courses.
