Spring has arrived this month after what has been a fairly moderate winter for most of us. (The notable exception to this unusually restrained winder was of course blizzard “Stella” which inundated the northeast with incapacitating snowfalls.) And as happens every spring, many motorists will see the warmer temperatures as a cue to take their motorcycles out onto the open road. However, as unnerving as this fact may be for some drivers of four-wheel vehicles and greater, motorcycle riders are a fact of life on our roadways. Moreover, even though their presence may pose a challenge to our ability to see them clearly, motorcyclists are entitled to every consideration that is due to other kinds of drivers. Because we know that you want to do your best to assure that our roadways remain safe for all vehicles, we would like to offer you some guidelines on sharing the roadways with motorcyclists.
