Governor John Carney has proclaimed May as Motorcycle Awareness Month and the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles along with the Delaware Office of Highway Safety are reminding motorcyclists and drivers to ride smart and ride safe.
Drivers can do their part and give motorcyclists extra room to stop and maneuver. Always look out for motorcyclists when turning, changing lanes, and at intersections. Motorcyclists can make themselves visible by always using headlights. Wear protective clothing and dress for a crash, not just the ride, and never travel in a vehicle’s blindsight.
Every year from March through November, Division of Motor Vehicles offers six motorcycle safety courses for various skill levels, including an instructor-level course for those interested in becoming a certified Motorcycle Safety Foundation RiderCoach.
