Motorcycle riding is a thrilling and popular pastime for many Americans, and dangerous as well. Riding a motorcycle requires training, skill and knowledge of the rules of the road for a rider to remain safe and keep the roads safe for others.

In order for a motorcycle rider to maintain their safety it is important for them to follow some important guidelines for riding, such as attending a motorcycle training course, choosing a motorcycle that fits them physically, never riding without personal protective gear, using headlights and signals both day and night, never driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and treating other motorists with courtesy and respect.

Common causes of motorcycle accidents include driver negligence and the failure to yield the right of way, hazardous weather or road conditions and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, including prescription medication.
