Be Alert, Be Aware, Motorcycle Season is Here!

The beautiful spring temperatures have many New Jersey residents eager to get out of the house. More people out and about equals one word that people in NJ are used to, traffic. It may not come to a surprise that the parkway is backed up on Friday afternoons and Monday mornings, but it is important to be aware of your surroundings no matter how typical they maybe. May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month and Dickstein Associates Agency is asking you to share the road with drivers of all types of vehicles.
As the driver of a vehicle it is important to remember that motorcyclists have the same privileges and rights as any other motorist on the roadway. When driving in a car you must always remind yourself to be extra alert of motorcyclists at all times. Following the rules of the road and keeping your eyes peeled for motorcycles will help you insure your safety; however safety is a 2-way street. Motorcyclists must also be aware of their surroundings and know that vehicles (especially larger trucks) have blind spots and may not be able to see you. Motorcyclists also take on the responsibility of watching for uneven riding surfaces and work zones which can produce more hazardous situations.
