The Best Way To Avoid Kansas City Motorcycle Accidents? Be Seen!

Most Kansas City motorcycle-automobile accidents occur because the driver of the passenger vehicle just didn’t see the motorcyclist or saw the motorcyclist too late to avoid a collision. While car drivers are responsible for keeping an eye out for motorcyclists, motorcyclists can protect their own safety by increasing their visibility. This is true even during day light hours, but it is especially important in the dark or when there is bad weather.

These tips can help you be seen and can prevent motorcycle-car crashes.

• Wear bright colored protective clothing with reflective details. If you prefer to wear black, make sure that you have plenty of reflective details. You can purchase black reflective tape that looks black, but shines white.

• A light colored helmet I easier to see.

• Add reflective decals to your motorcycle and to your helmet.

• You can also add accessory lights to your motorcycle.

• Keep your bike clean, dirt and grime can obstruct your reflectors and dim your lights.

• When loading your bike, make sure you are not blocking your lights.

• The human eye processes flashing lights faster than it does non-flashing lights. Pump your brakes a few times before stopping to make your brake lights flash. Or, you can buy a brake light flasher that does this automatically.

• Use your turn signal and follow the rules of the road.
