Many people love riding motorcycles saying there is nothing better than the open road on a motorcycle and the feeling of freedom it brings with it and the number of riders has almost doubled over ten years to now over seven million.
However, motorcycle riding is undeniably dangerous with motorcyclists more than 35 times more likely to be killed on the road than those in cars, vans or trucks.
One of the reasons so many motorcyclist are involved in accidents with other vehicles is because the other drivers on the road do not see them. They can often be in the vehicle’s blind spot or the vehicle drivers can be distracted. Therefore it is very important for motorcyclists to make themselves as visible as possible using neon colored clothing and reflective strips. They may not be as trendy as the traditional black leather jacket but they do contribute significantly to safety.
