Motorcyclists are always in danger as people do not notice them or misjudge their speed. Motorists should be vigilant when driving on the road and always be aware of their surroundings. Take caution when approaching motorcycles on the road.

Remember there is very little protection for those riding motorcycles. Please take care when driving.
