During May\u2019s Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, the La Mesa Police Department reminds drivers to always look twice for motorcycles. Safe riding and driving practices, and a shared responsibility from all road users, will help everyone get to their destination safely.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMotorcycles may be difficult to spot, so be extra careful before changing lanes,\u201d Chief Ray Sweeney said. \u201cMotorcycle riders are more vulnerable than drivers and passengers in vehicles. Please share the road responsibly and drive safe.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To help protect you and your family, keep the following tips in mind while driving or riding: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Drivers<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022Always check mirrors and blind spots before changing lanes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022Do not follow a motorcycle too closely. Always keep a safe distance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022If you see a motorcycle with a signal on, be careful. Be sure that the rider is turning before moving ahead. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Motorcyclists<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022Always wear a U.S. DOT-compliant helmet with eye protection.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022Wear leather or other sturdy clothing such as a jacket, pants, boots with nonskid soles and gloves. Add reflective strips or decals to your clothing and motorcycle to make it easier for other drivers to see you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022Ride defensively. Don\u2019t assume a driver can see you. Avoid riding in a driver\u2019s blind spot. <\/span><\/span>\u2022<\/span><\/span>Always keep your lights on, even during the day. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Lastly, both drivers and riders should never drive\/ride distracted or under the influence of alcohol and\/or drugs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
