  • Motorcycle Safety
    Motorcycle Safety According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists are more than 30 times more likely to die in a crash than occupants of cars, and five times more likely to be injured. Safe motorcycling takes balance, coordination and good judgment. Tips for motorcyclists ► Wear protective gear at all times, including a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) compliant helmet. Look for the DOT symbol on the outside back of the helmet. ► Choose brightly colored clothing to make yourself more visible. If you wear dark clothing, wear a reflective vest. ► To be easily seen by other drivers, turn headlights on, even in daylight hours. ► When riding at night, wear only clear eye protection (not tinted), and keep it clean and free of scratches. ► Never ride while impaired by drugs or alcohol. ► Ride within your own skill limits. ► Obey all traffic laws and ride with the flow of traffic ► Leave plenty of room between your bike and other vehicles. Your stopping distance may be increased if you have a passenger or heavy bundle. ► Get trained and licensed. For information on Kentucky’s Motorcycle Rider Education Course, call 1-800-396-3234 or visit www.kytc.ky.gov/drlic/motorcycle/kmrep.htm Kentucky’s motorcycle helmet law Kentucky first enacted a motorcycle helmet law for all riders in 1968. This law was amended in July 1998 to require helmet use only by: Motorcycle operators and passengers under the age of 21; Motorcycle operators who possess a motorcycle instruction permit; Motorcycle operators who have had an operator’s license for less than one year.
