Motorcycle Ohio program is promoting May as Motorcycle Awareness Month, said Lt. Governor Maureen O'Connor. We want to stress how important it is for drivers to be aware of what a motorcycle can or cannot do. A driver should always maintain at least a two-second following distance. If the weather is bad, or it's dark outside, the following distance should be increased to four seconds Drivers should be especially cautious at intersections, since it's the location where most crashes happen While it is important for vehicle drivers to be cautious and share the road, it is just as important for the motorcyclists to do so as well. The Motorcycle Ohio program offers classes each April through October that teach both experienced and inexperienced motorcyclists the rules of the road.
Classes also show the riders how to be more aware of their surroundings.
Experienced riders are also encouraged to take the course. It's a good way to brush up on laws and techniques. Locations for motorcycle training courses are located throughout Ohio.
