How Can Motorists Help Keep Motorcyclists Safe on our South Carolina Roadways?

Motorcyclists accounted for 14% of all traffic collision fatalities in the United States last year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, as these collisions are twenty-seven times more likely to end in death than other motor vehicle crashes.

The reality is, even when riders are doing everything right by driving safely, staying in their lanes, signaling, and traveling within the speed limits, much larger passenger vehicles are overtaking their lanes — or simply not checking to see if there is a rider nearby by maneuvering blindly through traffic.

To help keep our South Carolina motorcyclists safe, motorists can:

  • Be aware of blind spots, and double-check their surroundings before maneuvering in traffic
  • Slow down when traveling behind motorcyclists
  • Use turn signals, so motorcyclists know their movements
  • Dim their headlights to avoid bright lights shining into oncoming motorcycle traffic
  • Take care when making left turns, waiting for motorcycles to pass first instead of turning in front of riders
  • Avoid driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Exercise caution when passing motorcyclists to ensure they are not passing too closely

It is important for all motorists — in cars, trucks, SUVs, and motorcycles — to share the road safely with one another to help avoid catastrophic collisions that change lives and families throughout South Carolina.
