🚨 **Motorcycle Safety: Look Twice, Save a Life!** 🚨
**Did you know?** 42% of fatal motorcycle crashes occur when vehicles are making left-hand turns. These tragedies are often preventable. 🏍️➡️🚗
Motorcycles are smaller, quicker, and often harder to spot in traffic. But every life matters, and we can all take simple steps to protect motorcyclists on the road:
1️⃣ **Always Look Twice**: Motorcycles can easily be hidden in blind spots. Double-check mirrors and blind spots before turning or changing lanes. 2️⃣ **Give Motorcyclists Space**: Maintain at least a 3-4 second following distance. Motorcycles can stop quickly, and tailgating increases the risk of rear-end collisions. 3️⃣ **Signal Early and Clearly**: Use your turn signals to give motorcyclists time to anticipate your next move.
4️⃣ **Check Intersections Carefully**: Most motorcycle accidents occur at intersections. Be extra cautious when crossing or turning.
🛑 **Drivers**: Remember that motorcyclists are more vulnerable than those in cars. A small mistake can have fatal consequences. We must all share the road responsibly.
💬 **CALL TO ACTION**: Share this post and spread the message of motorcycle safety. Tag a friend, driver, or motorcyclist who should know these life-saving tips! Together, we can prevent accidents and save lives.
