No person is more aware of how dangerous our roadways can be than the motorcycle rider. As a rider, I am intensely aware of the dangers faced by the motorcycle riders. I have had drivers pullout or turn left in front of me, and even crowd me in my lane of travel while they changed lanes without looking. I understand the heighten sense of awareness you have as you approach an intersection, bracing yourself for the distracted driver.
Passenger vehicles are becoming larger, and many are equipped with every imaginable distraction. Gone are the days of the simple radio; instead vehicles now have satellite radios, navigation systems,and even Internet access. Add to these distractions cell phones and text messaging, and it is little wonder that drivers do not notice motorcycles. For those of us that choose the freedom of two wheels, all of these new driver distractions make riding an increasingly dangerous way of life.
According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, there were 3,826 motorcycle crashes in Ohio in 2017; resulting in 3,162 injuries and 157 deaths. During Ohio’s eight month riding season there is a motorcycle crash related injury every hour and a half.
Motorcycle accidents result in severe injuries; leaving those injured to face medical bills, lost wages, suffering, and emotional distress.

As you drive your rig down the road, you watch your speed, keep a sharp lookout ahead and constantly scan your mirrors. You do everything you can to avoid an accident, but other drivers speed past you, pull out in front of you, generally fail to yield the right of way. Tractor-trailers are longer, heavier and harder to maneuver than passenger vehicles. They require greater stopping distance and require significant amount of training and skill to operate safely. When tractor-trailers are involved in accidents, their operators regularly experience serious injuries.
