April Safety Briefing

Motorcycle crashes involving another motor vehicle continue to account for nearly half of all motorcyclist fatalities in the United States.  Motorcyclists are inherently at more risk than motor vehicles because they lack many of the same safety features of automobiles.  From a statistical perspective, motorcyclists are 27 times more likely to die in a crash than other motorists.   NHTSA has a vested interest in addressing the types of motorist behaviors that pose a risk to motorcyclists.  In years past, and enshrined in statutory language, these efforts have been bundled under the moniker of Share The Road.
