Engines are roaring and the fall breeze is rolling in this week! One of the most popular motorcycle rallies in the country begins Wednesday, October 22, along the beautiful Emerald Coast. This rally will be accompanied by beautiful, fall riding weather.
We could see an increase in local motorcycle traffic due to this event. Your SWFD would like to remind you of a few tips in hopes our roadways can be made safer for all:
* Always check your blind spots before changing lanes
* Allow a full lane of distance when passing a motorcycle
* Put down distractions! Operate your vehicle with your full attention
* Keep plenty of distance between your vehicle and the motorcycle (or other vehicle) in front of you
* Never drink and drive ANY vehicle
* Stay vigilant and avoid drowsy driving
Roadway safety is everyone’s responsibility! Thank you for doing your part.
