Agencies participate by providing information and increasing awareness in their communities about the importance of sharing the road and looking twice for motorcyclists. “As the weather gets warmer, we will likely see more of our friends on motorcycles sharing the streets with automobiles, which is why it is the perfect time for us to remind the Bradley County community about the vulnerability of motorcycle riders,” says Sheriff Steve Lawson. “All motorists need to know how to anticipate and respond to motorcyclists to avoid crashes. By taking extra precautions, we can all help prevent motorcycle-involved collisions.”
