Session 36 – Sharing the Road with Motorcycles and Bicycles
SHARING THE ROAD
ALL DRIVERS, INCLUDING THOSE ON MOTORCYCLES AND MOPEDS HAVE… EQUAL RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- At intersections
- To parking spaces
- When turning
- In traffic
- For following distances
SIZE DOES NOT DICTATE WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO GO FIRST
When stopped at intersections, double-check traffic before proceeding. Take a second look specifically for motorcycles and mopeds before pulling out.
MOST MOTORCYCLE AND MOPED CRASHES OCCUR WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER TURNS IN FRONT OF THEM
Look for cycles and mopeds before turning. Then look again.
Use turn signals to warn cyclists before turning.
Use extra caution when entering a major thoroughfare from a side street, driveway or parking lot.
